In 2005, the Fulton Fish Market was moved from Downtown Manhattan to Hunts Point, in the Bronx. The film that we're shooting is half-way between a video-portrait, or an archive of night workers in the Bronx, and a video-atlas, or a sketching of the displacement of a historical landmark.
With the creation of this additional Market, the Hunts Point neighborhood became the Stock Market of the Bronx, and furthermore of the new New York, although it is still considered as one of New York City's worst neighborhoods. It is an industrial and commercial complex, but its nights are filled with voices and memories.
The fish sellers, the buyers, the tuna men, the fillet men, the truck drivers, the journey men, the security guards... share their impressions on the new location, on the old market, on the neighborhood... They mention their experience of the night shifts, their relationship to the ocean, to fishing, to fish.
Through the interviews and conversations, we wish to provide this new space with a spatial acknowledgment, based on the structure of a geographical Atlas
