Meet Watermark's Edward Burtynsky
Ed Burtynsky and Jennifer Baichwal
Movie
Watermark ****
Twenty stories from ten countries, and nary a word (let alone a talking head) comes up. The subject is water as a “terraforming element,” and award-winning documentarian Jennifer Baichwal (<em>Manufactured Landscapes</em>) and acclaimed photographer Edward Burtynsky lead us through a visually sumptuous historical essay on humankind’s thirst for and dependence on H₂O. Not your typical mashup of “green propaganda” and soppy coffee table book, the film does what any great movie should do: tell its story with pictures. (Cinematographer Nick de Pencier’s striking 5K ultra high-definition imagery is frequently as jaw-dropping as the nature it captures.) Take it from someone who watched it on a TV: the IMAX-worthy aerial photography — from afar, the Colorado River resembles a giant chest x-ray — demands a visit to the theatre.
The personal appearances just keep coming at Landmark. First Charlie Siskel in La Jolla and now Edward Burtynsky in Kensington.
Director/executive producer and photographer/artist Edward Burtynsky will be at The Ken on Sunday, April 20 for a Q&A after the 2:30 pm show and to introduce the 4:45 pm show.
Watermark, co-directed by Burtynsky and award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal (Manufactured Landscapes), is an eye-quenching documentary on humanity's thirst for, and dependence on, water.

“I thought about ways that I could build a body of work around the idea of water,” says Burtynsky. “I feel this project encompasses some of the most poetic and abstract work of my career.”
Given all the recent talk about The Ken's eminent closure, wouldn't now be a great time to show your support for the theater by putting in a personal appearance of your own?

We'll be there.
You won't be sorry.
Just came from seeing Watermark and I'm seriously thinking of going back on Sunday just to ask Mr. Burtynsky what his film is about. Water? Yes. People? Yes. Technology? Hydrology? Wet, dry, hot, cold, dirty water, clean water, hot water, ice water, high, low, up down, black white green yellow brown and lots of interesting patterns. But what was the film supposed to be about?
Perhaps he summed it up best himself when he said it was one off the most...abstract of his career. I found it abstract to the point of incomprehension. Long live art! I guess.
