Tiger Competition, Paraguayan filmmaker Paz Encina’s fourth feature “Eami” is a mythological tale born of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode, an indigenous community from the country’s northern regions. Unique in its form, the film blends Encina’s documentarian strengths that have garnered her international recognition and her interest in a highly poetic narrative storytelling.
Intertwined with the arresting images that Encina finds in the Ayoreos’ rich yet contracting forest surroundings is the poetry of Eami’s voiceover and comments by older Ayoreos about the pain of their forced exile from their homeland. Portraying an indigenous community is always hard labor, it requires work and patience as the foreign filmmaker can always fall into skewed portraits, either quick grab tourist photos or the old cliche of the wise savage. How was your experience when working with the Ayoreo community?
