Documentary: Dirt
Here’s the link to the documentary on “dirt” that I mentioned in the last class.
From the National Film Board description…
“This feature documentary is an exploration of the concept of dirt and impurity. From the slums of Kolkata to Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside to a barbeque joint in Central Texas, Dirt digs deep into the webs of meaning and feeling attached to that deceptively simple 4-letter word. An odyssey into all things unclean, the film features animation to make Hieronymus Bosch blush and music from Godspeed You! Black Emperor.”
Find the full film (for free!) here.
