Odisea Amazónica (Veins of the Amazon)

This film is preceded by “Sunflower Siege Engine” directed by Sky Hopinka.

Sunflower Siege Engine
Movements of resistance are collapsed and woven together. These are gestures that meditate on the carceral nature of the reservation system, and where sovereignty and belligerence intersect and diverge.

Odisea Amazónica (Veins of the Amazon)
Observation of an important infrastructure in Amazonia: downstream on a cargo boat that brings passengers and goods to the isolated communities in the Peruvian rain forest.

Cargo boats form a non-lieu, a space of transition for the travellers taking journeys that can last days, as well as for the Indigenous communities living on the edges of the Amazon River, fighting for the survival of their cultural traditions and struggling to adapt to modernity.
