Garbage! The Revolution Starts at home

Immondizia! La rivoluzione inizia a casa

Autumn 2005. The McDonald family of Toronto have a new live-in house guest--their garbage, which they keep in their garage for 3 months. The result? 83 bags full of garbage, 145 kg of organic material, and a humming smell. The deus ex machina behind this unusual choice is film director Andrew Nisker who shows through the experience of a normal family the reality of domestic garbage production and disposal. The main characters of this intelligent documentary, which also has its comic moments, visit the places where the garbage they unassumingly took out for years winds up, realizing the dramatic impact their household chore has.

Il regista / The Director

Andrew Nisker graduated from the York University School of Fine Arts Film & Television program, Toronto, in 1992, the same year he made the short film Canadian Fever, followed by Playground (1994) and Lost in New York (1995) He then directed two documentaries, 10 Manic Days - The Toronto International Film Festival (2003) and 10 Manic Days-The Toronto International Film Festival 2004, produced a TV reportage Sciente of Ghost Hunting (2002/2003), as well as the short comedy Loving the In-laws, for which he did the editing. He is currently finishing Chemical Nation, a documentary for which he is also the producer.

“When the screening is over and the lights come up I promise you will feel even more empowered with the knowledge that you can make a difference. (…) Bob Hunter, the co founder of Greenpeace once said to me, ‘The revolution starts at home.’ It’s a simple and empowering thought that drives my desire to keep fighting for the future of my son and all the children who are about to inherit this earth.”
