在这部前任萨满纪录片片中,巴西纪录片《前任萨满》,导演是路易斯·波洛涅西。“在土著祷告的地方被烧毁,福音派教会的暴力登峰造极的时候,把这部电影选送到柏林意味着通过电影传播世界各地的森林与古老文明的精神,所以我很高兴。”导演如是说。这个纪录片讲述的是土著佩佩拉族的故事,苏瑞是一个印第安人,在他成为一名萨满信徒的森林里,他活到了20岁。与白人接触后,一位福音派牧师对他说说,萨满的行为和知识是属于魔鬼的,而后佩佩拉开始内部冲突。尽管他是一个福音派,并将自己定义为一名前萨满教徒,但他仍然以一名森林中长大的人的观点看待这个世界。这个真实的电影最让人感动的是,导演波洛涅西拍摄的所有细节的东西,都使我们旁观者变成了一个被遗忘的智慧的古老文化最后时刻的见证人,一代文明最后的叹息。
Ever since their first contact with the Western world in 1969 the Paiter Suruí, an indigenous people living in the Amazon basin, have been exposed to sweeping social changes. Smartphones, gas, electricity, medicines, weapons and social media have now replaced their traditional way of life. Illness is a risk for a community increasingly unable to isolate itself from the modernization brought by white people or the power of the church. Ethnocide threatens to destroy their soul. With dogged persistence, Perpera, a former shaman, is searching for a way to restore the old vitality to his village.
文明的冲突中失落的一方。都输了,只有似乎必然的灭绝赢了。无法包容的神,是毁灭本身。。
