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”.
The film screening will start at 17:00. Please REGISTER BY Friday March 21, via: Taynã Tagliati (tagliati@uni-bonn.de). The movie will be in Portuguese with English subtitles.
