MERGE Movie Night - ''''Waste Land'''
I just wanted to inform everyone about an event that MERGE will be holding this Wednesday, May 4. We will be screening the award-winning, oscar-nominated, documentary ''''Waste Land'''' in the lounge at 6 PM. MERGE will also be providing free, locally-produced snacks and drinks for everyone who wants to come and enjoy the film (perhaps as a break from OSCE studying??).
For more information on the film, please visit http://www.wastelandmovie.com/.
Here is a brief summary of the film (source: IMDb):
An uplifting feature documentary highlighting the transformative power of art and the beauty of the human spirit. Top-selling contemporary artist Vik Muniz takes us on an emotional journey from Jardim Gramacho, the world's largest landfill on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, to the heights of international art stardom. Vik collaborates with the brilliant catadores, pickers of recyclable materials, true Shakespearean characters who live and work in the garbage quoting Machiavelli and showing us how to recycle ourselves.
Hope to see you there!
