World of Passage
In this short documentary, massive ships harking from all four corners of the world majestically glide by on the St. Lawrence River as riverside residents watch. But they know nothing of the secrets hidden in these floating leviathans laden with colourful containers - except for a select few who get to briefly join their voyage when they guide the ocean-crossing ships safely into harbour.
Nadine Beaudet's World of Passage captures poetic fragments of life on board as sailors perform their endless tasks.
