“Essa máquina não caiu do céu”: o nascimento do cinema dos povos originários e notas etnográficas sobre dez anos de formações cinematográficas para indígenas

Abstract

In the Brazilian Amazon, audiovisual records made by indigenous themselves are already a reality. Year after year, individuals belonging to dozens of ethnic groups have been introduced to cameras and computers, supported by several organizations. This study describes the role of indigenous people, assisted by these recently assimilated tools. It brings up issues that unfold from the longstanding contact between the camera and native peoples.
