Manhattan Independent Film Festival 2010: Garbage Dreams

Starts: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 6:30 PM

Ends: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 8:30 PM

Location: Chelsea Recreation Center (430 West 25th Street) Manhattan

The Arts, Culture and Fun Series at Manhattan Recreation is pleased to partner with ITVS Community Cinema from San Francisco and the Independent Lens series of PBS to bring powerful documentaries into our recreation centers. Please join us for a first look at these films before their national debut on PBS.

After each screening, audience members will have the opportunity to participate in facilitated discussions/conversations about each film with a special guest speaker.

The third film in this series is Garbage Dreams by Mai Iskander. This film welcomes you to the world's largest garbage village located on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. The Zaballeen (Arabic for garbage people) recycle 80 percent of the trash they collect-far more than other recycling initiatives. But now a multi-national corporation threatens their livelihood.

If you like this film, please join us for the others in this series

J. Hood Wright Recreation Center (351 Fort Washington Avenue)

How far would you travel to heal someone you love? For one Texas couple, it means a spiritual journey halfway around the world to Mongolia. When their son is diagnosed with autism, they seek the best treatments but nothing works...Until they discover their son's connection to horses and the effect it has on him.

A Village Called Versailles by S. Leo Chiang
Tuesday, May 18th at 6:30 p.m.
East 54th Street Recreation Center (between 1st & 2nd avenues)

Welcome to Versailles, New Orleans---home to the densest ethnic Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam. For over 30 years, its residents lived a quiet existence on the edge of New Orleans. But then Hurricane Katrina came with the immense garbage piles and the shocking discovery of a toxic landfill planned in their neighborhood. Watch as they fight back, turning a devastating disaster into a catalyst for change and a chance to build a better future.

These screenings are free and open to the public.

To RSVP, please call (212) 408-0296 or email artsculturefun@parks.nyc.gov.
