The Green Caravan Film Festival - " Waste Land" An Award Winning Documentary


"Waste Land" is an award winning documentary by director Lucy Walker - 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.

Released on 2010 and premiered in Berlin Film Festival 2010 (Berlinale).


Just one of the movies that will be shown during the GCFF from 17-23 November in Kuwait. Check here for times, dates, locations, reviews and trailers of movies to be shown.

GCFF is a celebration of the environment and the art of filmmaking. The 3rd season of the festival brings more exciting and award wining films to the region that they hope will inspire and perhaps, do what all art and learning hopes to do, change you.

This year they have screenings in both Kuwait and Dubai, in venues that have been chosen for their beauty and their commitment to culture and our common mission to spark environmental action.
