The Ship Brod

Elvis Lenić / Croatia / 2023 / 65 min / Croatian

After more than 160 years of existence, one of the largest Croatian shipyards, Uljanik, is closing down. The place where ships of impressive size and importance were manufactured and then sailed away has been turned into an industrial graveyard for wrecks, dysfunctional cranes and abandoned workshops that once teemed with life. Through a collage of observational footage, however, we now observe the almost post-apocalyptic landscape of the site. How did Pula's originally important Austro-Hungarian shipping empire come to an end?

Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Igor Bezinović orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
