Landfill Harmonic film teaser from Landfill Harmonic on Vimeo. My friend Claudio recently brought to my attention an amazing upcoming feature film titled ‘Landfill Harmonic‘ that brings to light an absolutely stunning story of redemption and creativity. Check out the summary:
“Cateura, Paraguay is a town essentially built on top of a landfill. Garbage collectors browse the trash for sellable goods, and children are often at risk of getting involved with drugs and gangs. When orchestra director Szaran and music teacher Favio set up a music program for the kids of Cateura, they soon have more students than they have instruments. That changed when Szaran and Favio were brought something they had never seen before: a violin made out of garbage. Today, there’s an entire orchestra of assembled instruments, now called The Recycled Orchestra. Our film shows how trash and recycled materials can be transformed into beautiful sounding musical instruments, but more importantly, it brings witness to the transformation of precious human beings.”Read this brilliant interview with the film’s producers , check them out on Facebook and follow them on Twitter.]]>
