Filmed over nearly three years, 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. There he photographs an eclectic band of “catadores”—self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Muniz’s initial objective was to “paint” the catadores with garbage. 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. This outstanding film, the winner of multiple film festival awards, offers stirring evidence of the transformative power of art and the alchemy of the human spirit.

WASTE LAND will be showing March 25-31 at 9pm each evening in the new Miami Beach Cinematheque, located at 1100 Washington Ave.
