Director STACEY TENENBAUM (Canada 2022) 72 min
We live in a world defined by growth and consumption. The world’s scrap is tossed aside or left to rust without a thought. But what happens to all things big and small that are expected to simply disappear? 2018 DocPitch project Scrap, delivers a lyrical cinematic behind-the-scenes look at the strange beauty midst abandoned vehicles and metal graveyards. Jumping from Asia to Europe and the Americas, we witness the afterlives of metal objects once frozen in time. An environmental message as much about sentimental attachment and shared cultural history as it is about reinvention and repurposing, Scrap suggests a paradigm shift in the way we view our connection and relationship with trash.
