AMAZONIA: VOICES FROM THE RAINFOREST

The starting point is an ancient myth of the indigenous population, according to which humans were brought to the Amazon region by the anaconda. In their film, Switkes and Aguirre describe the coexistence of landless people, indigenous people and rubber tappers in the Brazilian rainforest and show the direct consequences of deforestation for the population. A poetic, visually stunning plea for the symbiosis of man and earth. (Florian Widegger)
