In a careful observational style, this film visits six regional waste processing sites around Amsterdam, revealing how discarded matter travels through intricate systems of sorting, processing, transport and deposition. Effortlessly shifting between scales, from granular substances to territorial transformations, Artifacts of Accumulation invites us to reflect on the metabolism of cities and the reality of circular economies.
The Great Together examines the future of Europe’s modernist estates in a time of acute housing crisis. As demolition loses its appeal, cities are rethinking how to care for, adapt and eventually celebrate their modernist heritage.
