After a few seasons of scavenging for the lost footage of Reno's Dumpster Wars of 2008, the long anticipated exposé of Reno's Trash Politics is finally coming to completion.
A collaboration of many anonymous sources have contributed found footage to the film project that Save Reno Dumpster Diving has spent the last months piecing together.
Dumpster Wars: Reno's Trash Politics will at last be available for all to see coming out this summer 2011. Stay tuned....
SYNOPSIS:
Dumpster Wars: Reno's Trash Politics showcases the activities of Save Reno Dumpster Diving, an activist response to a proposed Ordinance to Restrict Scavenging of Garbage in Reno, NV.
Save Reno Dumpster Diving intended to protect the activities of Food Not Bombs, hobby curb crawlers, Freegans, trash bin divers, found object artists, dumpster divers, gleaners, recyclers, urban hunter gatherers and anyone who has ever retrieved perfectly good items from the trash, dumpster, curb or dump.
Save Reno Dumpster Diving's claimed mission ostensibly was:
“To galvanize public support and understanding of trash scavenging, dumpster diving, curb crawling and other forms of recycling. Its ultimate goal is to defeat any attempts to outlaw these activities in the Reno area.”
At the time of Save Reno Dumpster Diving’s creation, there were already numerous laws available to the City of Reno that could be applied to discourage trash scavenging; it was theoretically illegal. Dumpster Wars chronicles the feigned movement, protest, and City Council bewilderment generated via Save Reno Dumpster Diving.
Conceptually, the film is a guerrilla act. Every local television news station in Reno and the Reno City Council itself produced the footage. When the multiple sources of footage are pieced together a new story emerges. The new story reveals an absurd reality set in motion by Save Reno Dumpster Diving—the Reno City Council gets serious about talking trash.
Utilizing the techniques of guerrilla communication theory, Save Reno Dumpster Diving achieved its hidden agenda of creating news, awareness and confusion. Dumpster Wars: Reno's Trash Politics is the culmination of the Save Reno Dumpster Diving campaign.
