'The Forgotten Space' is a provoking description of the world heavy container traffic and a documentary with a unique look at the infrastructures we often forget, but which today permeate every form of life, form of consumption and form of society. It is a film that opens eyes and arouses indignation through an unsentimental defence of human dignity in the face of a system characterised by a cold and hostile anonymity.

The film is introduced by the Berlin-based cultural theorist Alexander Klose, author of the outstanding book 'The Container Principle' and the research project 'Beauty of Oil'.

The event is part of a wider festival focus on coasts, water systems and aquatic landscapes.

Terrestrial Bias (EN)

Through dreamlike sequences and hauntingly beautiful imagery, Helena Whitman’s drift invites us to surrender to the ebb and flow of the sea and to find new modes of being in its timeless rhythms.
