"E-WASTELAND" - Have you ever wondered what happens to your electronics at the end of their life?

       

DAVID FEDELE  is an Australian award-winning independent documentary filmmaker, musician, philosopher and full-time self-declared incessant thinker.

With his latest documentary movie  E-WASTELAND David takes us to Ghana where much of our e-waste ends up. 

INVISIBLE MAN

Hey, over here, can’t you see me?

Or am I an invisible man with an invisible soul?

Always standing on the outside,

Capturing moments in time with a troubled mind.

The flow of life all around me,

Like a never-ending ride that I can’t get on.

Always the promise of something greater,

The unattainable goal of a searching soul.

David entered the world of documentary filmmaking through his love of travel  and exploring different cultures.  He travelled extensively throughout Australasia, Europe, the Middle East, South America and Africa. 

His  films, photography and writing cover a wide range of issues, from logging in Papua New Guinea to electronic waste in Ghana. It is  evident that he is interested in the people and places he portrays and has a keen sense of social justice. 

David is one-man filmmaker – directing, producing, shooting and editing his own films. His work has been broadcast and screened widely, winning numerous awards on the International Film Festival circuit.

About his latest venture David says

My latest film “E-WASTELAND” is a visual portrait of unregulated electronic waste (e-waste) recycling in Ghana, West Africa. It premiered at the Environmental Film Festival of Accra, Ghana, in June 2012, and is currently screening at numerous International film festivals. This film was recently awarded the prize for “Best Editing” at the Social Impact Media Awards in the U.S.A., “Special Prize of the Jury” at the Matsalu Nature Film Festival in Estonia, and Low Budget - Big Impact” award at the Wildlife Vaasa Nature Film Festival in Finland.  

    Thanks to David and a safe journey...
