A Lista

The collective Guahu’i Guyra spent three years filming their people, the Guarani-Kaiowá, original inhabitants of a piece of land in Brazil. Much of of their ancestral lands have been destroyed by monoculture and deforestation. In the small territory they managed to retake, a few families try to live according to their traditional way of life, devoting a lot of attention to each other and their environment.

This experimental short film proposes a lyrical plunge into the sacred words of the shaman Valdomiro Flores about the original territory and the traditional way of being Kaiowá indigenous people (Mato Grosso do Sul/Brazil) elaborated from a set of images of the phenomenon of kuarahy jeguaka (head ornament of the Sun).
