Afterwards, we’ll go to see the Brazilian movie "Waste Land" that is playing ONE NIGHT ONLY during the 25th annual Latin American Film Festival, at High Museum of Art.

Synopsis:
What happens when Brazil’s most famous living artist teams up with some of the most resourceful and poorest residents of Rio de Janeiro? The answer is found in Waste Land, a riveting film co-directed by Lucy Walker, João Jardim, and Karen Handley that follows the life-changing collaboration between Vik Muniz, an artist and photographer who works with unconventional materials, and a group of men and women who recycle garbage at the world’s largest dump. An uplifting film that highlights the transformative power of art and the beauty of the human spirit, Waste Land won an Audience Award at Sundance and the Amnesty International Film Prize at Berlin. (2009, Brazil/U.K., 90 minutes.)
