Objectified

Synopsis: A feature-length documentary about our complex relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. Gary Hustwit documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most influential product designers, and looks at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. The film is about the people 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?

DVD extras include 60 minutes of additional interviews with designers; booklet with notes by director Gary Hustwit
