Garbage Dreams, the project of the Jan 2008 six week class, was reviewed today in the NY Times. Jeannette Catsoulis writes, "Expertly weaving personal fears, family tensions and political action (the zabbaleen don’t whine; they strive to modernize), Garbage Dreams records the tremblings of a culture at a crossroads." The film is on the short list for an Academy Award and screens at the IFC center starting NYC January 6th. Full review here.
