500 Almas (500 Souls) + Infos

 

Joel Pizzini
Brazil
2004 * 35 mm * 1:43:00


“500 Almas”, first Joel Pizzini’s long-length documentary, discusses the delicate process of the memory’s reconstruction and the identity of the Guató indians. In a census carried through for the Empire in 19th century, the tribe of the Pantanal added about “500 souls”. Today, the number of guatós remains more or less the same, but many of them are acculturated, living in the periphery of the pentane-cities, and there are not even 30 of them that still speak the native tribe’s language. “500 Almas” contains depositions, images, bibliographical material and even though a dictionary of the language guató, and shows how art could become a way to combat the war.
