Amazomania

In 1996 a Brazilian official and a Swedish journalist ventured into the Amazon to make contact with the isolated Korubo people. Footage of the expedition resurfaces decades later, forcing a re-examination of the contact's consequences. When the journalist returns to the tribe, his visit does not go as expected.

Nathan Grossman (Climate in Therapy) returns to Cork with this fascinating documentary in which the very notions of observation and discovery unravel when those once treated as objects of the gaze begin to look back.

The filmmaker will attend for a q&a on Thursday Nov 19th.

"A fascinating work – a gripping account of an adventure that then deftly flips the narrative, asking uncomfortable questions [...] about the medium of documentary itself." - Screen Daily

"Grossman succeeds in interrogating the very gaze his film is built upon." - Variety

"Don’t miss." - Modern Times
