The Matis' Tattoo Celebration (90'): Film screening
Join us on 25 March, 2025 for the screening of 'Matses Muxan Akadakit', a captivating movie about the Matis tattoo celebration directed by the indigenous Matis people.
The first training courses for Matis filmmakers began in 2015 through audiovisual workshops organized by the Manaus Indian Museum and the Indigenous Work Centre (CTI). On that occasion, several young people were chosen by the dadasibo (the elders) to represent their people through this art. In 2018, the Matis filmmakers made several short films about the cultural importance of the tedinte (the blowgun). The film about the tattoo festival represents a new stage in the training process of these young filmmakers. It was entirely filmed and documented by them, who decided to sign it as a collective work, directed by the “Matis people”.
