Indigenous cinema; visual anthropology; Pitaguary; Jenipapo-Kaninde; shamanism
This research seeks to undertake a reflective analysis based on long and extensive experiences in the practice of training and producing audiovisual with indigenous villages, especially with the Jenipapo-Kanindé and their Indigenous Film School (chapter 2) and with the Pitaguary and Monguba Filmes (chapter 3). Added to these, in this corpus, are the experiences and intensive exchanges promoted by these and other indigenous groups (chapter 4). The central objective is to analyze these cultural processes through direct dialogues with indigenous agents, forming a shared methodology, in which we maintain the focus of interest on local cosmopolitics, in order to uncover events in the approximation between cinema and shamanism. (or what is generally called shamanism applied to amerindians). To introduce the theme of imagery and indigenous cinema, we manifest the position of the researcher and his collaborators' place of speech. Afterwards, we follow a path to bring historical, aesthetic, analytical and linguistic contributions in order to broaden the debate about the construction of the indigenous image, in addition to debating elements and key points of the field of indigenous cinema in a series of topics
dedicated to it (chapter 1).
