According to the organization, “the indigenous cinematographic production in Brazil has contributed in a decisive way to the emergence of new instruments of indigenous knowledge and intervention in the world”.
With a collaborative approach to projects involved in the production and diffusion of this cinematography in Brazil, such as the Aldeia SP Show, the program of the Amerindian Show integrates a multiplicity of experiences that make us go beyond the conventional way of looking and understanding cinema.
