Fantastic Machine

The Fantastic Machine of the title is the camera and this delightful dive into its history is an equally fantastic exploration of its ability to dazzle, deceive and delight. From the Camera Obscura and the Lumière brothers to YouTube and the world of social media, FANTASTIC MACHINE chronicles how we went from capturing an image of a backyard to a multi-billion-pound content industry in just 200 years. With archive clips and found footage FANTASTIC MACHINE, explores the camera as both a time capsule and a powerful tool. So alongside a look at some crazy daredevil stunts, there is chilling footage of terrorists forgetting their lines and making bombs, all captured for posterity. As the film’s Excutive Producer, director Ruben Östlund, has said,“What if you were only allowed to use a camera if you have a licence? You need one for a gun...”DocumentaryPT1H28M152024-04-26
