Film Installation
Watermark is a feature documentary film that brings together diverse stories from around the globe about our relationship with water: how we are drawn to it, what we learn from it, how we use it and the consequences of that use. Shot in 5K ultra high-definition video and full of soaring aerial perspectives, this film shows water as a terraforming element. In Watermark, the viewer is immersed in a world defined by a magnificent force of nature that we all too often take for granted- until it is gone.
The Xiluodu Dam is a double-curvature dam on the Jinsha River in Yunnan Province, China. The dam's construction has been controversial because of population displacement and loss of crucial species habitat.
Co-directed by multiple award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Baichwal and renowned photographer Edward Burtynsky. Produced by Nicholas de Pencier.
