Filmclub Casablanca shows "The dream of being unsinkable" With an audience discussion with director Tom Fröhlich
About the GDR fishing fleet - told by Charly Hübner
In VOM TRAUM, UNSINKBAR ZU SEIN, Rostock director Tom Fröhlich tells a story of home at sea. In its heyday, the fleet of GDR deep-sea fishermen comprised over 100 ships - the largest ever to sail under the German flag. Not a single ship was lost at sea in 40 years of large-scale shipping. Today, only a few of these steel colossi still exist. Tom Fröhlich has tracked down four of them: off Greenland, in a Spanish harbour, in a Danish scrapyard and in the port of Hamburg. They are the last witnesses to a lost world of labour and at the same time living places where people still work, live and remember.
The film addresses the effects of the fall of communism, globalisation and industrialisation - at the same time, it is a multi-layered reflection on memory, home and the painful loss in a constantly changing world
