Synopsis
Ninety-percent of everything we consume is shipped by boat. Seablindness explores the interstitial space of ports, where land meets the sea and capital is concentrated and distributed. Endless depos, hundreds of tons, gigantic ships. Yet patient observation reveals a different perspective: a child learns to swim in the shade of a crane, wild birds graze by container towers, young kayakers block the dock. On a journey along the varied edges, we intercept a night radio call of stuck seafarers. This documentary poem explores ecological anxiety. It is not, however, about those who feel such anxiety, but rather for them.
