Filme takes its inspiration from the entities that inhabit the forests of Brazil, and from the mythical imaginary of the Brazilian jungles. The forest as a particular cosmology — wild and enchanted —, and how to return to a deep and unknown inland. It is an imagetical and sonic adventure, based on the desire and attempt to make a film, and activates the imagination using as its starting point the emblematic figure of the spotted jaguar: an almost extinct mammal that lives in the Brazilian jungles, a wild animal of exuberant strength and beauty, a myth which incorporates shamans in their healing rituals and is central to Amerindian cosmologies.
