There is what I see, what is shown to me, what I can’t see, what I don’t see… I was invited to film a ritual. One that can be shown to foreigners, to “dried-heads” like me. A child of the village watches Disney’s Fantasia on TV. He is interrupted. What the child lives when he dances? What am I able to see from what is shown to me? Shot in the Xucuru–Kariri tribe, in Alagoas, Brazil.
