And The King Said, What a Fantastic Machine

The camera is a fantastic machine.
FANTASTIC MACHINE is a thought-provoking examination of humanity’s infatuation with itself, and with framing the world through the camera’s lens. Filmmakers Axel Danielson & Maximilien Van Aertryck once again turn their cameras directly on society, this time to explore, explain and expose how our unchecked obsession with image has grown to change our human behavior.
In the process, the filmmakers also raise the question of societal consequences stemming from the image output of 45 billion cameras on the planet and how humanity went from the image of a backyard to a multi-billion-euro content industry in just 200 years without a road map.
