Um Olhar Inquieto: O Cinema de Jorge Bodanzky
Directed by Liliane Maia, Jorge Bodanzky
Written by Jorge Bodanzky, Gustavo Soranz, Bruna Callegari, Rapha Erichsen
During the height of the military dictatorship, Jorge Bodanzky documented the construction of the Humboldt University [research station] in Mato Grosso. While flying over the surrounding area—amidst the dense, unbroken forest—he captured an intriguing image: a large maloca (communal indigenous dwelling) where the inhabitants were attempting to strike the plane with arrows. Half a century later, the filmmaker uses this moment as a starting point to revisit—without a script—his long-standing connection to the Amazon and the story behind that image, through an approach that is both spontaneous and intimate.
