ABOUT THE FILM: At the head of a remote Maine harbor, the 60-some workers of the Brooklin Boat Yard coax wooden planks around a frame, make precise saw cuts, and sand edges for flawless joints, resulting in some of the most stunning and sought-after wooden vessels in the world. Over the course of four vibrant seasons, director Luke Lorentzen tracks the boatbuilders’ meticulous construction of a 56-foot sailboat while embedding us in the lives of these men and their close-knit community. Intertwining the rhythms of the boatyard and the natural world, Boatbuilders is a meditation on the pleasures that reward sustained attention and the potential to create meaning by engaging deeply with what we do and where we are.
