Dive!

Arts in Action invites all to attend a screening of the multi award-winning documentary DIVE! Living off America’s Waste. Inspired by a curiosity about America’s careless habit of sending food straight to landfills, DIVE! follows filmmaker Jeremy Seifert and friends as they dumpster dive in the back alleys and gated garbage receptacles of Los Angeles’ supermarkets. Awakened to the enormous volume of perfectly good food going to waste every day, they salvage thousands of dollars worth of good, edible food – resulting in an eye-opening documentary that is equal parts entertainment, guerrilla journalism and call to action. DIVE! has garnered critical praise while raising important questions about hunger and waste in society.

Screening Partner: Melbourne based not for profit organisation FareShare provides a grassroots solution to food waste by providing free, tasty, nutritious meals to Melbourne’s hungry using donated food not needed by supermarkets, farmers and markets. Director of Development from FareShare Claire Leach, will be along to speak about food waste and food rescue and how we can support their volunteer and food donor programs. 40% of the proceeds from the screening of DIVE! will be donated to FareShare.
