Landfill Harmonic (stylized as landfillharmonic) is a 2015 documentary film directed by Brad Allgood and Graham Townsley.[1] It stars and tells the story of Paraguayan music teacher Favio Chavez and his Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, a children's orchestra in Paraguay which performs with materials recycled from a trash landfill near Asunción. According to The Huffington Post, "[t]he film is both an exposé on the harsh conditions of slum life and a commentary on the global threats of consumption and waste".[3]

Overview

The film details the founding and development of the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura.

When Luis Szarán and Favio Chavez came to Cateura, a landfill located in Asunción, Paraguay, to start a music school, they realized that they had more students than instruments. Thanks to the resourcefulness of Cola, a Cateurian garbage picker, an orchestra came together, now featuring violins, cellos, and other instruments artfully put together from trash. Now known as the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, the orchestra soon became independent. In 2012 it performed in Brazil and Colombia under Chavez's direction.[4]

Release

The film debuted on March 18, 2015.[5] In the United States, the film is shown on HBO.[6]

Reception

Ken Jaworoski of The New York Times gave the felt the film was "an inspiring tale" and the children involved in it were "wonderful to watch", though he criticized the interview style.[7] John DeFore of The Hollywood Reporter called it "[a]n unlikely breakthrough story whose happy endings come with asterisks".[8]

This film was shortlisted for the Environmental Award at the 2015 Sheffield Doc/Fest documentary festival,[9] where it won a special mention.[10]
