Synopsis:
The Land of Forgotten Songs
Running time: 1hr 33m
"The Land of Forgotten Songs is a documentary film project brought to life through a collaborative effort between The Deep Forest Foundation and the indigenous communities of the Amazon rainforest. It captures key moments in the life and ceremonial practices of the Kaxinawa Huni Kuin, Awa, Kayapo, Matis, Enawene Nawe, and Shipibo people, who live alongside vast rivers and towering trees.
Using an ancient myth as a recurring motif, the film immerses viewers in their culture, cosmological vision, and daily life while simultaneously connecting their past and present through a rare collection of 20th-century photographic archive material."
