Beschrijving van deze documentaire door Andrew Berends : http://visserijnieuws.punt.nl/ Urk Een documentaire door : Andrew Berends When tragedy at sea claims a young seaman's life, the whole Urk fleet unites in a recovery mission, and Urkers mourn the loss of another son. While fishermen ply remote seas for weeks at a time, their families wait anxiously for their safe return. As one fisherman says, "I never leave home without saying goodbye, because if you lose your life at sea, for your mother it wouldn't be nice that she didn't get to say goodbye." Against the stunning backdrop of Urk and the tempestuous North Sea, amazingly candid first-person reflections are woven into a beautiful tapestry of pride, faith, fatalism—and loss. With rare and remarkable cinematography, the first full-length documentary about Urk captures a community on the brink of change. High-tech computers plot ships' courses in the treacherous North Sea and track bidding in the fish auction on Urk. At the same time, centuries-old practices persist: The ships shut down at sea for the Sabbath. Fishermen wear the elaborate gold earring that identifies them as being from Urk. Sounds of the Fisher Choir still stir the soul; but so does the blare of pop music. The struggle to maintain traditions is fought against increased mechanization, catch restrictions, foreign competition, and uncontrollable natural forces. The life of a fisherman is both hard and dangerous, yet many Urkers cannot imagine doing anything else. DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT In September 1997, I went on the North Sea for the first time on the Urk fishing vessel -De Hoop. On the second night of the voyage, another Urk fishing vessel sank in the dangerous Duitse Bocht. Kees Korf, a 19-year-old fisherman, drowned. With forty other ships from Urk, we joined in the search for Kees. He was never found. I returned to Urk periodically over the next few years to follow up on this incident and to tell the whole story of the people of Urk, whose lives are bound to the unforgiving sea. I am an American citizen living in New York, but my father is from the Netherlands, and my cousin is an Urk fisherman. These family connections allowed me a high degree of privileged access to this otherwise closed community. To the best of my knowledge, it is the most intimate and complete film ever made about this unique town. https://www.visserij.nl/
