IDFA, Saturday 28.11. 
between two films, I have cooked with a few friends the most original vegetarian food: Sauerkraut casserole with soy sausage and mushroom sauce (no wonder then that I was a bit dim!)
Before Seen: Which way home
(
http://whichwayhome.net/ ). Dramatic and beautiful travelogue of children (almost exclusively boys to 13years), the attempt by Mexico to the U.S. to arrive. Well told, well filmed.
seen then:
Garbage Dreams (
http://www.garbagedreams.com/ ). The poorest of the poor of Cairo, Zaballeen called, are responsible for decades of waste disposal in the city. Exemplary, but rather from eco nomic
place eco
logical reasons, they collect the garbage of the rich in order to recycle it in laborious hand work with the simplest technology. Until one day, foreign companies come and take them to work ... The need to rethink Zaballeen: they offer a recycling school and send their students abroad to learn about modern waste disposal. Well told, well filmed, with the beginning therefore is somewhat unclear, the body with the boys in Wales, the marvel of the modern machines there, whether building blocks, very funny, and the final part is beautiful to the point.
IDFA is over, the original vegetarian food I actually do not get this (the trip home on the train was not only me but also for the other passengers in my compartment rather disgusting ...). However, I have great impressions of films, people and Events in my head and it is also even better.
