Contents The Matis ancestral spirit of Madiwin and the Corn Party -- Healthy politics for who? -- Starring a reflexive camera
Summary The triptych About Cameras, Spirits and Occupations is divided into three complementary short films. Our documentary aims not only to denounce oppressive situations or exotic glimpses, but also to reflect on how short films like these are interconnected, especially regarding complementarities that cannot be heard or seen. The first short-film is an indigenous media recorded and edited by Shapu Matis after a cinema workshop with Markus Enk, in which the spirits Madiwin comes to visit the Matis village; the second short-film is a collaborative indigenous media produced with the Kanamari while their protest against the neglect of their healthcare assistance by the Brazilian government; the last short-film is a reflexive experimentation regarding the role of the camera and that of anthropology when anthropologists meet their indigenous collaborators. The triptych documentary concludes asking to its audience if, when preparing their works, anthropologists and filmmakers are trying to affect bodies and transform their state of mind, just as healers and shamans do
