Der Tag eines unstaendigen Hafenarbeiters

Between 1966 and 1971 Hubert Fichte and Leonore Mau produced four photographic films for German television. Strange characters populate the screen for the ten-minute plays: inconstant dock workers, bums, prostitutes, fishermen. Fichte’s texts and Mau’s images trying to visualize an experience that is not in a single medium, and may also be unrepresentable: the proletarian experience. These four films are set at the time turn of 1968, and they also tell of the failure of the last major uprising against the capitalist socialization.
