CinemaAttic and Casa Kayeb present a screening of the award-winning documentary No More History Without Us, which exposes the deep-rooted myths that have long shaped how the world sees the Amazon: an untouched wilderness, a “savage demographic emptiness” incapable of speaking for itself. The film is both a manifesto and an act of reclamation, revealing how racism and prejudice continue tosilence Amazonians. Before the film, we will also watch Rayane Penha’s short film Utopia.
Following the screening, we will be joined by Claudelice dos Santos, human rights activist and prominent defender of the rainforest, in conversation with Xuanlin Tham, curator for Take One Action Film Festivals.

About the films:
No More History Without Us, dir Priscilla Brasil, Brazil/Portugal, 76 min
Submerged in the sea of greenwashing that drowns them daily, two Amazonian filmmakers have decided to denounce, in this film manifesto, the entrails of the historical process of inventing and exploiting the forest as an inexhaustible Garden of Eden. Between Munich and Belém, they reveal how racism and prejudice, in Brazil and throughout the world, are still organised around the idea of a “savage demographic emptiness”, unable to speak for itself.
Utopia, dir Rayane Penha, Brazil, 15 min
A daughter searches for stories lived by her gold miner father who died in the garimpo.
