Scrap Vessel With Naked Visions

SCRAP VESSEL
Scrap Vessel documents the last trip of the Haru Funafuti (formerly the Bulk Promoter and Hupohai – which means ‘Amber Ocean’), a cargo ship on its way to be scrapped. With a languid atmostpher using the massive ship like a landscape, the film explores what is found inside from the Hupohai’s communist past, onwards through an unseen attack by pirates and onto a distant beach and glowing ironworks factory, until the ship becomes a phantom.

Ironic, imperturbable, mischievous and fascinating, Philip Pearlstein’s controversial creative vision continues to drive him forward, upstream against time and art history. Considered the “father of New Realism,” through his prolific painting, writing, and teaching, Pearlstein has had a tremendous impact on modern and postmodern art. Synopsis provided by filmmakers.
