Synopsis

A film like a monument: a tribute to the rich greens of the Amazon and the forests of New England in winter, celebrating the indigenous peoples of both Americas and flowing as a film as freely as a winding river.

Our take

Merging the Americas of the past and the present, Paula Gaitán’s sprawling cinematic journey places Indigenous lives front and center. A visual tapestry woven from historical reenactments, ethnographic vignettes, and poetic landscape shots, this is a colossal achievement in experimental filmmaking.
