Das Volk der Krahô lebt im brasilianischen Regenwald in einer eigenen Zeit. Auf Mobiltelefonen verfolgen sie die Rede einer indigenen Aktivistin in der Hauptstadt, zugleich wird ein lange schon zurückliegendes Massaker, das die „cupe“ (die Weißen) einst an ihren Vorfahren verübt hatten, als identitätsstiftendes Ereignis erinnert. Geburt und Tod werden in halbdokumentarischer Form mit den Ritualen des Erwachsenwerdens verbunden; das Leben wird nicht idyllisiert, steht vielmehr eindeutig im Kontext eines Überlebenskampfes, der sich unter Präsident Bolsonaro massiv verschärfte. So brechen schließlich auch einige der Krahô nach Brasilia auf, um ihre Stimme zu erheben. (Bert Rebhandl)

If João Salaviza and Renée Nader Messora’s CHUVA É CANTORIA NA ALDEIA DOS MORTOS suspended the boundaries between tradition and modernity, wakefulness and sleep, nature and civilisation, the duo’s latest film gently smudges the lines that divide past from present and fiction from documentary to ambitious, dizzying efect. Once again, the villages of the Krahô people form the central setting, where Patpro is planning her trip to Brasília to attend a large-scale demonstration for Indigenous rights, a necessary act given the tensions imposed from outside that are felt even in this remote location: her uncle Hỳjnõ apprehends poachers at the perimeter of their lands, while her daughter Jotàt slips into historical traumas in her sleep. Yet these narrative elements are thoroughly imbricated with the film’s intuitive, immersive observation of everyday life, captured on 16mm brimming with light and colour. Here everything overlaps, always in balance; a dream can fold back onto a ritual or a massacre, a monologue can make memory flesh, flora and fauna can come to the foreground at any time and a rally can be precisely as real as it needs to be. How can collective history not take its inspiration from everything? (James Lattimer)
