Abstract

Fishermen have become slaves.” These are the words uttered by a Polish fisherman in the film Fishermen, made by Viktoria Marinov, a young Polish filmmaker, which received an award from the jury at this year's Lorient film festival, billed ‘Fishermen of the World’. Strangely enough, this reality was a theme echoed in many of the other films screened at the festival, including the ones that received awards.
