The second of three Doc Talks today focused on collaboration, featuring the creators of Manufactured Landscapes discussing how a project comes toghether with such difficult creative bridges to build. The film's director Jennifer Baichwal said it was very different to look at an image through the eyes of a photographer, which she needed to do in creating this film focused on the work of famed Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky.

When Burtynsky found out a film was in the works about him, he was hesitant to be part of a project full of talking-heads speaking about him and his work. But Baichwal had something else in mind and asked revered cinematographer, Peter Mettler, to film the project. The choice was made to allow the scale of the photographs and their environmental focus to translate into film, according to Baichwal. All three members of the panel, agreed that this integrity was maintained in the film.

NFB Chairman, Jacques Bensimon, moderated the event and said at its start that the Doc Talks are a great idea and he hopes that they will become an annual tradition at the festival, garnering much applause from the full audience at The Fifth Element restaurant.
