i just saw 'up the yangzte' by yung chang. see it. it's been opening all over canada this past week. and it is so crazy.
it reminded me that i haven't seen 'manufactured landscapes' yet. this is one of edward burtynsky's photos of nickel tailings in sudbury. i was in sudbury recently. it's pretty bleak.
i also saw this crazy other nfb film this week called 'the invisible nation' and got un peu informed about what's been going on up at barriere lake. come to nfcm on tuesday for a public assembly at 6 00. midnight kitchen is doing dinner!

SOOOOO goood!!!!
I saw the premiere last month, and had a chance to ask Yung a few questions after. Really wonderful film. He really got so close to his subjects.
Manufactured landscapes is really interesting and you should check it out as soon as possible. It really provides a lot of insight into the world behind burtynsky's work.
The cinematography is really great to it's done by Peter Mettler, really interesting guy, he made a film a couple years ago called "Gambling, Gods and LSD" I haven't seen it but I've been meaning to.
check it out.
mettler also shot Picture of Light my favorite movie! sound by jim o'rourke...
