Synopsis THE LAND OF FORGOTTEN SONGS

The Land of Forgotten Songs is a documentary film project that came to life, through a collective creative collaboration between The Deep Forest Foundation and the indigenous communities of the Amazon forest. It captures key moments of the Kaxinawa Huni Kuin, Awa, Kayapo, Matis, Enawene Nawe and Shipibo people, who all live alongside wide rivers and massive trees. With an ancient myth as a recurring motif one is immersed in their culture, their cosmological vision and their everyday life while we simultaneously connect their past and present through a rare 20th century photographic archive material.
