We invited filmmakers to share with us materials that in some way were important for their film: Inspirations such as photos or newspaper articles, shotlists, script pages, notes, and much more.
Bruno Jorge, director of the film A INVENÇÃO DO OUTRO, sent us a photo taken during the shooting in the Amazon rainforest, as well as a still from the film, and shares the touching backstory:
"This is a photo that precedes an important frame of the film (a photo still and a frame of the film), it may be of interest to someone. In brief, the film tells the story of an expedition carried out deep in the Amazon rainforest to seek out and establish first contact between isolated indigenous people and non-indigenous people. It was more than a month of expedition, counting several and several days of long walks. To feed us, it was necessary to kill any possible animal that appeared in front of us and carry it until the end of the day, when we camped for the night. At a certain point, I was one of those responsible for the carrying part of the food, which in this case was a monkey. As I was always filming, holding the camera, no hands free, I hung the monkey on my head in the same way the indigenous people do. When we found the first two isolated Indigenous, I dropped the dead monkey on the ground to be able to work better, and in perhaps the most emblematic moment of the sequence (or of the entire film), when the two isolated indigenous celebrated finding the brother who was traveling with us (and who they had thought was dead) they crouched hugging each other next to the same monkey corpse that I had left on the ground, singing and crying copiously." - Bruno Jorge
