As palavras Encantadas dos Hupd’äh da Amazônia – Mestre de Saberes Narrados por Renato Athias (2020, 52’)

Diretora Mina Rad, Edição: Isabel Castro, Produtora: World Cultural Diversity

“Humanidade é natureza” é o que o Hupd’äh pensam. Na cosmologia desse povo, uma das duzentas e dez etnias do Brasil, não há separação entre a natureza mineral, vegetal, animal e humana. A música e a palavra têm um poder transformador, muitas vezes incompreensível para nós. O filme foi produzido a partir do acervo etnográfico do antropólogo Renato Athias, com textos, filmagens, fotografias e músicas coletadas na década de 1980, atualmente digitalizadas no Arquivo Linguístico dos Povos Indígenas da América Latina (AILLA) da Universidade do Texas. O filme dá voz aos chefes de clãns Hupd’äh: Bihit, Casimiro e Mehtiw (in Memoriam). O filme oferece novas maneiras de refletir sobre a relação entre humanos e não humanos.

The Enchanted Words of the Hupd’äh of the Amazon – Masters of knowledge, narrated by Renato Athias

A film written and directed by Mina Rad edited by Isabel Castro, World Cultural Diversity, 2020, France , Brazil

The Hupd’äh are one of 210 Amerindian groups in Brazil who live in the Uaupés river basin, in the heart of North-West Amazon. They believe that humanity is nature. This film provides an approach for debating the relationships between humans and non-humans. In the cosmology of Hupd’äh, there is no separation between the animal, plant and mineral orders. Music and words have transformative powers, which are often incomprehensible to Western societies. Bihit, Mehtiw and Casimiro – Hupd’äh clan chiefs and the Masters of Knowledge – are important figures in this film, which is based on ethnographic notes, sound and footage produced by anthropologist Renato Athias. “The Enchanted Words of the Hupd’äh of the Amazon” is a film that highlights what the Hupd’äh people have to say to Western societies
