Ijã Mytyli Collective: Collaborative films in indigenous terms.

From May 10th to Friday 13th the Department of Anthropology, Faculty of Science, at Masaryk University is receiving the visit of a Brasilian indigenous film maker, Typju Myky, representant of the Ijãmytyli Manoki and Myky Cinema Collective, and André Luís Lopes Neves, PhD student of Social Anthropology from the Universidade de São Paulo (Brazil). Together they will offer a series of lectures about collaborative films in indigenous terms.

The Ijã Mytyli Collective of Manoki and Myky Cinema, which our guests represent, brings together young filmmakers from the Manoki and Myky indigenous people of Mato Grosso in Amazonia (Brazil), who try to narrate with new means of comunication, especially film, the stories and paths, not only of their ancestors. Ijã in local language means both history and path, Mytyli or Myty'i means new or young. For more information, visit: https://www.ijamytyli.org

During their stay in Brno, they will partecipate in course of Visual Anthropology at the Faculty of Social Sciences and give two lectures at the Department of Anthropology at the Faculty of Sciences. A general public may meet our guests at the Anthropological Seminar, May 12, over the topic: Ijã Mytyli Collective: Collaborative films in indigenous terms.
