The United States produces 390 billion pounds of garbage every year, and finding places to dispose of it is a serious environmental and economic challenge. But what if we could change the way we think about garbage, from something to be disposed of to something to be harvested? THE LANDFILL profiles a small county landfill in Upstate New York which is using a system of composting, recycling, and methane capture technology to operate sustainably while producing electricity for 5,000 homes in their area. By focusing on the people and ideas behind this innovative waste-to-energy initiative, THE LANDFILL shows the beauty and potential of the stuff we throw away.

A nice short film by Andrew Telling documenting both work from the Semblance series and the triptych billboard installation at the Truman Brewery in London created to coincide with the launch of the Semblance Collectors’ Box Set.
Here is a great presentation by North Kingdom telling who they are, what they do and how they do it. A great alternative to all the crappy Christmas shows during the holiday.
SweetTalk Cph and Plant are proud to to be involved with CPH:DOX and Dansk Arkitektur Center in bringing you ‘Urbanized’, the final film in Gary Hustwit’s trilogy. Even more special, it will be the closing movie of Copenhagen’s international DOX festival and will be one fantastic evening.
Urbanized is a feature-length documentary about the design of cities, which looks at the issues and strategies behind urban design and features some of the world’s foremost architects, planners, policymakers, builders, and thinkers. Gary Hustwit’s previous two films, ‘Helvetica’ and ‘Objectified’ played to sold out audiences.
Plant is a Copenhagen-based creative interactive agency. The mission of the company is to conceptualize and develop technology-empowered rich media content that will enable advertisers to engage international audiences on- and offline. We primarily develop Flash-based campaigns (landingsites, banners, games, widgets, etc.).
