ORIZZONTI

THE FORGOTTEN SPACE by Allan Sekula & Noel Burch (WILDart Film, DocEye Film (NL))

supported by Austrian Film Institute, ORF

Those who rule the sea, rule the world. Allan Sekula, perhaps the most prominent photographer, filmmaker and chronicler of modern labour conditions working today sets off with the French director and film historian Noel Burch to explore the sea, the ‘forgotten space’, which forms the arena for the globalisation of freight transport and labour.
