1st Indigenous Culture and Film Festival:
Conceived by Takumã Kuikuro (general director), the 1st Cinema and Indigenous Culture Festival took place in December (2 to 11) and screened films produced by indigenous filmmakers, collectives and directors. The films represented more than 305 of the country's indigenous peoples and helped to promote, strengthen and disseminate their culture.
The festival not only helped to share cinematographic work, achievements and progress in this area of work, but also contributed to the development of audiovisual production in Brazil.
The film "Amazônia Viva" was enjoyed by the indigenous participants and the general public, leading to debates and discussions about the preservation of the biome and the defense of indigenous peoples' rights.
CVR Festival - Virtual Showcase
The film "Amazônia Viva" was featured at the renowned virtual reality short film festival (CVR - Mostra Virtual) in Brasilia from December 1 to 4. The festival attracts a young audience with a strong focus on technology and games.
In addition to the exhibition, debates were held to discuss deforestation in the Amazon and the human rights violations faced by indigenous peoples and local communities. Raquel Tupinambás (the film's protagonist and chief), Núria Guerreiro (IRI Brasil) and Estevão Ciavatta (the film's director) were present at the event to inspire and involve participants in solving these problems.
Among the films shown at the event, "Amazônia Viva" was the most viewed and best rated.
