16mm Film - Waste Prevention - A Day in the Life of the Unrat Family - BRD 1993
Direction: René Perraudin
Script: René Perraudin and Günther Krämer
Camera: Claus Deubel
Music: Alan Feanch and Ted Atking
Cast: Dieter Kursawe, Barbara Freier, Peter Schlesinger, and others.
A supermarket shopping trip and the resulting mountain of rubbish, in which the family is in danger of drowning, are depicted in a cabaret-style exaggeration. A play presents the possibilities for avoiding waste. Inserted scenes briefly show the recycling processes and the limits of recycling paper, glass, and metal. The particular problems of plastics and composites are only briefly touched upon, as is the composting of organic waste. A common thread running through the entire film is that the waste problem cannot be solved by recycling, but only by waste prevention. Direct purchasing and the use of reusable systems are the most important measures for waste prevention in private households.
