過去30多年來，世界知名的加拿大攝影家愛德華‧伯汀斯基不斷的透過宏構攝影，將採礦場、垃圾場、資源回收場、水壩等人類工業所製造出來的景觀，呈現在世人眼前；近幾年來，伯汀斯基把攝影目標轉向中國。製作小組則跟隨伯汀斯基的眼光角度，延伸他的攝影敘事，冥思人類對地球所造成的衝擊，讓觀眾以另一個角度來覺察所生存的世界以及現今的生活方式。

Manufactured Landscapes is a feature documentary on the work of internationally renowned artist Edward Burtynsky. The film follows him as he travels through China photographing the evidence and effects of that country’s massive industrial revolution. The Three Gorges Dam, factory floors a kilometre long and the breathtaking scale of Shanghai’s urban renewal are subjects for his lens and our motion picture camera. Shot in Super-16mm film, the documentary extends the narratives of Burtynsky’s photographs, meditating on human impact on the planet without trying to reach simplistic judgements or reductive resolutions. In the process, it shifts our consciousness about the world and the way we live in it.

從開場畫面的工廠生產線，鏡頭隨著敘事拉到垃圾場內數以億計的科技廢棄物，《衝擊地景》讓我跳脫原本的思想，以更宏觀的想法看待人與製造端的關係。平常身處在各種高科技產品之中，人們很輕易的就能夠丟棄淘汰這些物件，但當你目睹龐大數量的科技廢棄物堆積成山，這幅「人造風景」所帶來的視覺震撼卻是很驚人的。導演以藝術家的角度將這種衝擊，化作詩意的攝影畫面，仍舊不減其威力，迫使觀眾省思高科技的影響。
