Waters of Pastaza
Inês T. Alves, 2022, Portugal, 61’
(Live Action, VO spanish, Leg PT e ING)
“Imagination, instead of knowledge; play, instead of work; totality, instead of separation.” (Agostinho da Silva)
We are in the center of the deep forest, monkeys are screaming in the treetops while the undergrowth chirps, trills and rustles without pause. Against the ceaseless aural backdrop of the rainforest, in colourful T-shirts and rubber boots, a group of Achuar indigenous children set off to find bananas and other fruits. Playful yet self-reliant, they move through the endless green lushness, machetes in hand. Along the Pastaza River, on the border between Ecuador and Peru, they spend their days hunting and fishing, cooking, swinging from vines or playing home-made tops on the solar panels in their village, sometimes they gather around a smartphone watching videos. With a calm , quiet gaze ,Inês T. Alves follows the close-knit collective as they live a life in harmony with the environment.
