Documentary on garbage disposal honoured abroad

 GUWAHATI, Dec 26 - Finding Beauty in Garbage, a documentary on the pathetic 
garbage disposal system in Dibrugarh town, won the Best Documentary award at 
the Asia South East Short Film Festival at Phnom Penh, Cambodia, recently. 
 It has also been selected for screening at the Ooty Film Festival, Short and 
Sweet Film Festival at Utah, USA, and Bengal International Film Festival, 
Kolkata.
“It is basically a satire on the menace of garbage pollution in general and in 
the city of Dibrugarh, known as the ‘Tea Capital’ of India, in particular. The 
film not only mocks at the fragile civic amenities in the city, like lack of 
garbage bins or total apathy towards cleaning them by the municipality, but 
also shows the mirror to the people for their habit of littering garbage all 
over without a second thought,” Satyakam Dutta, the documentary-maker and a 
2013 batch IRS Officer, said.

Dutta, who calls it a ‘mockumentary’, said that it was an attempt at 
sensitising citizens as also the authorities towards better upkeep of the 
cleanliness of the city of Dibrugarh.

“We will release the documentary on YouTube on January 1, 2019,” he added. –
