Fantastic Machine

Director:
Axel Danielson

The camera is a fantastic machine. Filmmakers Axel Danielson and Maximilien Van Aertryck explore, explain and expose how our unchecked obsession with image has grown to change our human behavior. From Camera Obscura and the Lumieres Brothers all the way to Youtube and the world of social media, the film chronicles how we went from capturing the image of a backyard to a multi-billion- euro content industry in just 200 years.
