The CMU International Film Festival Presents: A special screening of short film "Garbage"!
Directed by Jose Muniain
USA | 2019 | 18 min
December 14th-20th, 2020
ABOUT THE FILM
Garbage is about the misconceptions our society perpetrates about race and how those misconceptions can lead to conflict, violence and even death. Black and white Americans move in two different universes in the same country, which the two main characters of Garbage exemplify; Black male as an instrument of death and the White woman as a symbol of purity and innocence. Through their interaction, and as their exchange becomes more and more tense, the audience is taken on a journey that interrogates what white people in America sometimes don’t even realize how they’ve been indoctrinated.
