Statues Also Die (1953) - 30 minutes
From the question “Why is the african in the Human museum while Greek or Egyptian art are in Le Louvre?”, the directors expose and criticise the lack of consideration for African art. The film was censored in France for eight years because of its anti-colonial perspective.
Teko Haxy - ser imperfeita (2018) - 40 minutes
An intimate encounter between two women—one is an indigenous Mbyá-Guarani filmmaker, the other a non-indigenous visual artist and anthropologist. As they film each other, they set up a confrontation between ethnographic and indigenous filmmaking, putting the two in tension with each other.
