IN EXCESS
In Excess examines labor, capital, and displacement in modern America through the lens of one city’s trash — in sewers and streets, waterways and workplaces. It’s a gritty dive into the inner workings of a city’s infrastructure that embraces different formats, weaving newly digitized archival material together with surveillance footage and contemporary vignettes of people at work, communities in flux, and waste in motion. Observational, off-beat, and open-ended, the film finds harmonies and dissonance in patterns of creation, consumption, and renewal.
Selected for Ji.hlava New Visions Forum: US Docs 2023. With support from the Independence Public Media Foundation, Velocity Fund, Scribe Video Center, and Good Pitch Philadelphia (presented by PhillyCAM and Doc Society).
