Cinema

The camera is a fantastic machine. To explore, explain and expose how our unchecked obsession with image has grown, filmmakers Axel Danielson and Maximillien Van Aertryck turn their cameras directly on society itself to take a look at how this obsession has begun to change our behaviour.

From the first camera to 45 billion cameras worldwide today, the visual sociologist filmmakers in Fantastic Machine, widen their lens to expose both humanity’s unique obsession with the camera’s image and the social consequences that lay ahead.

With exclusive use of both archival and found footage, this outstanding new film uses the very medium it examines in an exhilarating, hilarious and thought-provoking way.
