About the Film:
Objectified
Directed by Gary Hustwit, 2009
USA, 75 minutes
Objectified is a documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind the objects and the designers, who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves? Objectified encourages us to stop and notice our surroundings and to think critically about creativity and consumption – how can good, intentional design make these manufactured objects – and by extension our lives – better?
