Anthropologist, indigenist and audiovisual director, Carelli created the NGO Vídeo nas Aldeias [Video in the Villages], which has been training Indigenous filmmakers since 1986. His documentary O espírito da TV (1990), awarded at the 9th Videobrasil, talks about this work; A arca dos Zo’e, from 1993, exposes the massacre of isolated Indigenous people in Rondônia. Here, he comments on this period.
Discussing the archive is a cycle of ten meetings that activate the 40-Year Special exhibition and deepen the interpretation of its contents. Artists, curators, researchers and critics who have collaborated or participated in different editions of the event comment on specific periods in its history and video production in the Global South. The debates draw from the exhibition of works from the Videobrasil Historical Collection chosen by the guests, and will be followed by talks addressing essential aspects of each decade represented in the exhibition.
