Lithipokoroda | By Lilly Baniwa | 2021 | 28min | Experimental

Lithipokoroda is a performance-manifesto produced by Indigenous artists from São Gabriel da Cachoeira, Amazonas, Brazil. An ancestral woman falls asleep, walks through the forest, and crosses the city to reach the 'maloca,' a traditional communal house of knowledge for Indigenous peoples. The film shows how ancestral knowledge lives within the bodies of Indigenous peoples and illustrates how young Indigenous people of the 21st century use technology as a tool for denunciation, to stop invasions, and to counteract the violence perpetrated for centuries by missionaries.

Whether in the bed of the Içana River, a tributary of the Negro River in the north of Amazonas, in a creek, or working at the oven house, this body-camera engages in life and labor, highlighting the interaction between the camera and the allotments.
