- Description
Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our complex
relationship with manufactured objects and, by extension, the people
who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind
everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about 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.Through verite footage and in-depth conversations, the film
documents the creative processes of some of the world’s most
influential product designers, and looks at how the things they make
impact our lives. What can we learn about who we are, and who we want
to be, from the objects with which we surround ourselves?Objectified had its world premiere at the SxSW Film Festival in
March 2009, and is currently screening at film festivals, cinemas, and
special events worldwide.Presented by AIGA Austin, IDSA, and AMODA. IDSA and AMODA members also receive member pricing for these tickets.
