For their second collaborative project, award winning documentary filmmaker, Jennifer Baichwal, and renowned Canadian environmental photographer, Edward Burtynsky, made a film with the simple title Watermark that tackles an extremely complex topic.
Making its Australian premier at Melbourne’s Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI), the film has been described as a ‘companion piece’ to the pair’s first collaboration, Manufactured Landscapes (2006), which looked at industrial sites transforming the face of the landscape and was recently shown at Sydney’s CoFA Galleries. Watermark is a thought-provoking exploration into ‘humanity’s inextricable relationship to water’.
