The film follows container cargo aboard ships, barges, trains and trucks, listening to workers, engineers, planners, politicians, and those marginalized by the global transport system. We visit displaced farmers and villagers in Holland and Belgium, underpaid truck drivers in Los Angeles, seafarers aboard mega-ships shuttling between Asia and Europe and factory workers in China, whose low wages are the fragile key to the whole puzzle. In Bilbao, we discover the most sophisticated expression of the belief that the maritime economy, and the sea itself, is somehow obsolete.
Since the early 1970s Allan Sekula’s works with photographic sequences, written texts, slide shows and sound recordings have traveled a path close to cinema, sometimes referring to specific films, sometimes operating like a ‘disassembled movie’. In 2001 Sekula made the first work he was willing to call a film.
Born in the USA (San Francisco, 1932), Noël Burch has been living in France since 1951. He graduated from the Institut des Hautes Etudes Cinématographiques in 1954. While primarily known for his theoretical writings, such as ‘Theory of Film Practice’ (1973), and ‘To the Distant Observer: Form and Meaning in Japanese Cinema’ (1979), he has always positioned himself as a filmmaker and has directed over twenty titles, mostly documentaries.
