Ship (Brod)

After more than 160 years of existence and numerous magnificent ships that sailed from its facility, the Pula shipyard ""Uljanik"" became a graveyard of steel wrecks,  unmovable cranes and abandoned workshops that once teemed with life.  Through a collage of observational footage of this post-apocalypse landscape, which today is inhabited by loud seagulls, half-starved cats and crayfish, we are caught up with the emotional testimonies of countless individuals, many of whom have dedicated their professional and private lives to “Uljanik”. An unintentional monument to socialist worker collectives, Ship is a sweeping, deeply researched and visually stunning account of a Croatian shipyard whose rise and fall reflect the political fortunes of the former Yugoslavia.
