Jennifer Baichwal and Edward Burtynsky’s film focuses on the question, “How does water shape us, and then how do we shape water?” Baichwal and Burtynsky, the acclaimed team behind 2012's Manufactured Landscapes documentary, visit ten countries, depicting the diminished Colorado River, abalone fisheries in China, and more.
Watermark is part of the David Brower Center’s Reel to Real documentary series and the public programs presented in conjunction with the Art/Act: Maya Lin exhibition.
About Reel to Real
The Brower Center further amplifies the power of art for social change through its new film program Reel to Real. Throughout the year, the Brower Center will present documentaries with critical, current insights into how we can create a more just and sustainable future. Films will address pressing issues that include climate change, social justice, conservation, and environmental education, as well as the intersections among them. Following each film, the Brower Center and its partners will provide a range of tools and resources for audiences to take real action beyond the reel.
About Art/Act: Maya Lin
Every fall, the Brower Center presents the Art/Act Award & Exhibition, created to honor established artists who have dedicated a significant part of their careers to using art’s unique transformative power in the service of activism. In 2014, the Center recognizes internationally acclaimed sculptor, architectural designer, and ardent environmentalist Maya Lin, known most widely for her Vietnam Veterans Memorial, but whose most recent work has focused on threatened ecosystems.
