Experiencing Interruptions?

Yvy Pyte - Heart of the earth

In "Yvy Pyte," Alberto Alvares and José Cury trace a cinematic journey through Guarani lands, dissolving physical and symbolic borders. The film, intertwining dreams, songs, and paths, reveals the collective search for tekoha, challenging colonial impositions and uncovering the profound connection between spirituality, land, and freedom. Words, chants, and aerial images weave a poetic narrative that unfolds Guarani resistance and recreates a counter-colonial map.
