Landfill Harmonic follows the Recycled Orchestra of Cateura, a Paraguayan youth symphony that plays instruments made entirely out of recycled trash. When their story goes viral, the Orchestra is catapulted into the global spotlight. Under the guidance of idealistic music director Favio Chavez, the Orchestra must navigate a strange new world of arenas and sold-out concerts. However, when a natural disaster strikes their country, Favio must find a way to keep the Orchestra intact and provide a source of hope for their town. The film is a testament to the transformative power of music and the resilience of the human spirit.

The Recycled Orchestra is scheduled to appear and perform briefly after the film. They will also participate in a Q-and-A with the audience.

The Scottsdale International Film Festival runs Nov. 5–9, and following opening night, screenings will be held at Harkins Shea 14 Theatre in Scottsdale. Visitwww.ScottsdaleFilmFestival.com for more information.
