by Marco Santarelli
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Duration: 61'


CONTAINER DEPOT
Live shooting in the biggest “container city” in Italy, showing
the rhythms, the spaces and the life of container depot workers.
It is still dark when the waitress of the early morning shift starts
opening up the café. She picks up the newspapers and prepares the
coffee machine, which will work nonstop all day long as workers come
and go in that non-place deep in the countryside outside Bologna.
At lunchtime, as everyone is busy with trays, standing in line in front
of the plates of food, two Turkish truck drivers eat their meal outdoors
and take their time sipping their coffee.

“The documentary was shot at the container depot of Bologna and
it is the second film in a trilogy dedicated to the world of
transportation. Container cities: the paradise of merchandise and
the inferno of humans.”
