The catalogue in 3D
The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.
How it feels
This documentary is a collage of fiction films, newsreels, and documentaries from Brazil and abroad. It shows how cinema has portrayed Brazilian indigenous people since 1912. The images are framed by thematic music and poems, revealing a mix of idyllic, prejudiced, religious, militarized, cruel, and magical views.

What happens
Yndio do Brasil é um documentário brasileiro de 1995, escrito e dirigido por Sylvio Back e narrado por José Mayer. Colagem de dezenas de filmes nacionais e estrangeiros de ficção, cinejornais e documentários, revelando como o cinema vê e ouve o índio brasileiro desde quando foi filmado pela primeira vez, em 1912. São imagens surpreendentes, emolduradas por musicas temáticas e poemas, que transportam o espectador a um universo idílico e preconceituoso, religioso e militarizado, cruel e mágico, do índio Brasileiro.
