Once again, we're teaming up with our good mates at Hopscotch Films to give away some film tickets because, you know, we're nice like that. We've got three 2-for-1 passes to dish out for the Oscar-nominated documentary, Waste Land, which are valid at the Hoyts Cinema Paris in Sydney for the duration of the film's run (we had some for Melbourne too but they have already been snapped up by our Twitter followers - sorry).
Filmed over nearly three years, Waste Land follows renowned artist Vik Muniz as he journeys from his home base in Brooklyn to his native Brazil and the world's largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. There he photographs an eclectic band of "catadores" - self-designated pickers of recyclable materials. Muniz's initial objective was to "paint" the catadores with garbage. However, his collaboration with these inspiring characters as they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage reveals both the dignity and despair of the catadores as they begin to re-imagine their lives. Director Lucy Walker (Countdown To Zero) and co-directors João Jardim and Karen Harley have great access to the entire process and, in the end, offer stirring evidence of the transformative power of art and the alchemy of the human spirit.
For your chance to grab one of these two-for-one passes, simply tweet us @bobbysix (including the hashtag #wasteland) or drop an email to info@bobbysix.com with the subject heading "I'm wasted." We'll shove everyone's name into a hat and send the winners' passes this week.
