El Shatt – A Blueprint for Utopia
In the organizer's words:
El Shatt - A Blueprint for Utopia
Ivan Ramljak, HR/RS 2023, 96 min, Croatian/Serbian OmeU
A ship sails from Europe to North Africa, bringing people to a camp in the desert. It is 1944, they are fleeing from the German Wehrmacht, which is threatening to occupy southern Yugoslavia after Italy's capitulation. On board the ships are children and old people, but above all partisans fleeing from the fascists to the Dalmatian islands. When they could no longer cope with the crowds, the Allies organized their evacuation to Egypt. The idea was that the "El Shatt" camps should also serve as a model for the construction of a new society after the war. Ivan Ramljak compiles his film from archive material, testimonials from contemporary witnesses and agitprop scenes that quote original historical texts.
