Great news! Waste Land, the documentary about Vik Muniz, is getting an official US release! Thanks to Arthouse Films for providing the dates, so look for your city below. The film opens in New York this week, and will be rolled out across the country through February 2011.
The movie was recently featured in a great New York Times article, along with a little bio about Vik. It was also covered in the Brazilian press, since the movie was shown at the Mostra de SP this past weekend. The film is slated for an early 2011 release in Brazil.
