Hollis Frampton, Critical Mass, 1971. (Excerpt)
Hollis Frampton
1971 (8:15)
"As a work of art I think [Critical Mass] is quite universal and deals with all quarrels (those between men and women, or men and men, or women and women, or children, or war. It is war! . . . It is one of the most delicate and clear statements––human relationships and the difficulties of them––that I have ever seen. It is very funny, and rather obviously so. It is a magic film in that you can enjoy it, with greater appreciation, each time you look at it. Most aesthetic experiences are not enjoyable on the surface. You have to look at them a number of times before you are able to fully enjoy them, but this one stands up at once, and again and again, and is amazingly clear." - Stan Brakhage

Interview with filmmaker Mai Iskander of Garbage Dreams.
9:59
Garbage Dreams runs at the IFC Center in New York through January 19.

New York, January 6, 2010—Shot over a four-year period, Mai Iskander's Garbage Dreams tracks the lives of three Zaballeen teenagers living in Mokattam, a garbage village on the outskirts of Cairo, at a time when their way of life and means of survival is being threatened.

The city of Cairo, with a population of eighteen million, has no waste disposal system. For over a century, a subculture of rural Coptic Christians from the south of Egypt has been collecting and recycling garbage. They are remarkably efficient , recycling 80 percent of the trash they collect from people's doorsteps. Now Cairo has hired three multinational waste disposal companies from Spain and Italy who are contractually required only to recycle 20 percent of what they collect and landfill the rest. The Zaballeen are therefore competing with technologically better-equipped (but less productive) companies for their raw material. Poignant, entertaining and enlightening,"Garbage Dreams" is both a coming-of-age story and a portrait of a close-knit community. It has won seventeen Best Documentary awards, including Nashville Film Festival's Reel Current award, selected by Al Gore, and has been shortlisted for an Oscar.
