Our seven-member jury found that Kumare’s project captures a crucial moment in the Ikpeng’s struggle to win back their ancestral land. His story, told with a mixture of sadness and humour, presents “the other side” of history, an indigenous filmmaker telling the story of his own people<\/strong><\/p>\n

PROJECT DESCRIPTION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Whites first made contact with the Ikpeng in 1965. There were only about a hundred Ikpeng left at the time, living on the banks of the Jatoba River in Mato Grosso state. Forty years after this fateful encounter, Ikpeng elders still remember clearly what happened. They talk with a longing for the time before they were “discovered” and lived totally by their own means on their own land.<\/p>\n

Kumare’s film will be the Ikpeng’s first opportunity to tell their own story, to make the rest of us understand the dramatic importance of that first meeting with whites. For once, whites represent “the other”, a much needed twist in documentary filmmaking.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner padding_top_multiplier=”2x”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/12″ animation=”fade-in” grve_css=”{“desktop“:{“margin-top“:“-25px“,“margin-left“:“-25px“,“class“:“grve-wpb-1744838676618“},“mobile_landscape“:{“margin-top“:“30px“}}”]

This motivated us to pursue our work. Materially speaking, it allowed us to remunerate the community for participating in this film. Our parents and grandparents, who are also the narrators of the film, guided our choice of scenes to be dramatised. They also directed these sequences. It was important for us to remunerate them for their participation. \u201cMy First Contact\u201d is a collective effort and I feel that is where its strength lies. Our thanks to the Alter-Cin\u00e9 Foundation for having believed in and supported our project[\/vc_column_text]
