“A visually stunning short” BFI Sight and Sound “An astonishing piece of work” Danny Leigh Consumed is a cinematic journey through the landscapes, mines, factories, and shipyards of Chinese production.

Blurring the lines between documentary and fiction, a single worker narrates his story to the rhythm of industrial machinery. The film reveals the hidden world behind our everyday objects, re-framing complex supply chains that feed global desires as a narrative performance played out at a global scale, and investigating the place of the individual within this context.

Nominated for a BAFTA in the Short Film category 2017.

Official Selection: Big Sky Documentary Film Festival 2018, Sheffield Doc Fest 2016, Aesthetica Film Festival 2016.

Produced in collaboration with Unknown Fields.
