"Havarie" is a 2016 documentary directed by Philip Scheffner that explores a brief yet profound encounter in the Mediterranean Sea. On September 14, 2012, the cruise liner "Adventure of the Seas" reported sighting a drifting dinghy with 13 individuals on board. This film delves into this incident, expanding a short YouTube clip into a 93-minute meditation on migration, human connection, and the vastness of the sea. Through a combination of real-time footage and layered soundscapes, "Havarie" reflects on the intersecting lives of those aboard the dinghy and the observers from the cruise ship.
