Our take

By exploring an ambiguous space in time, set in the Amazon, Iván Castiñeiras Gallego meditates on the border between modernity and tradition, and the relations between native and Westernized cultures. Where is the Jungle? is an intellectually stimulating and formally surprising experience.
