Movie Night:
Waste Land

Jun 16, 2021 7-9PM

Presented in partnership with Aspen Film 

Waste Land is 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.

Immediately following the film we will screen a virtual panel with artist Vik Muniz and filmmaker João Jardim, moderated by Aspen Film Executive and Artistic Director Susan Wrubel.

Tickets include a complimentary popcorn and beverage. Additional beverages and food items will be available for purchase.

Registration for this event is now SOLD OUT! Please join us for another movie night in our series later this summer!
