Waste Land

Zondag 30 oktober – Filmavond, 20uur: Waste Land (Lucy Walker, João Jardim and Karen Harley, Brazil, 2010, 90′, english subtitles) – Documentary
Waste Land follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world’s largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.

However, his collaboration with these inspiring characters as they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage reveals both the dignity and despair of the catadores as they begin to re-imagine their lives.
