%X Sa£¿etak This paper analyses Kolos s Jadrana and Berge Istra, two documentary movies filmed in 1972 at the Uljanik shipyard. Their theme is a christening: the launch and the joining of the stern and bow of the MS Berge Istra, the largest and most complex vessel ever built at an Adriatic shipyard. Such a technical and professional success contributed to a disregard of the building crew¡¯s daily experience as well as a disregard of the problems encountered during the vessel¡¯s construction. Barring a few rare but significant departures, the content of these films is thus almost completely dedicated to ideal representations. However, Godine hr£¿e, filmed in 2000 in the same shipyard, depicts a completely different reality. In this documentary, the difficult everyday life of subcontracted workers completely overshadows discussion of the vessel ¨C a vessel that, if successfully built, would have brought the workers a great deal of satisfaction. Along with analyzing the distinct politics of representation in films from different periods, this paper argues for the complementarity of these films
