Скачать или смотреть THE QUEEN OF GARBAGE a short film by Federica Bottini

"I am a creature of the near future,
finding purpose for what was left for me,
pieces of garbage,
my treasures."

I am a creature living few decades ahead from now in a dry world, something had happened to my species, leaving few of us on the Earth and deleting any trace of humanity besides these pieces of resistant colorful material that were left for me, pieces of plastic, my treasures.

I keep them close to me, I taste them, I connect to them, I attach to them, I imagine how precious they could be to survive my species, they are my only connection to that civilization that inhabit the planet before me.
They are your garbage, my heritage and I am proud and fierce of it.
I am the Queen of my land, the land you left for me, I am THE QUEEN OF GARBAGE.



What are we leaving to our next generations? What will be our heritage? What are we doing with all these products that from goods immediately become garbage, that fills and suffocates the planet and us too?
We design them, we produced them, we advertise them, we buy them and we throw them straight away in the bin thinking they disappear, but they continue to live, much longer than us.
The earth, the air, the water is poisoned by them,
The sea if full, the fishes, the birds, the air are suffering,... but we don't care, we suffocate the planet forgetting we depend on it.
Can't you see that? Can't you hear the scream of the Living Earth begging for mercy, for respect? Can't you hear your next generation and living creatures asking you to stop? To change? To see? Eventually to disappear?


I AM THE QUEEN OF GARBAGE, thanks for your sterile heritage.
