Ethnographic female filmmaking, subversive glances from the Amazon

Abstract

This paper reflects on the potentialities of experimental ethnography and audiovisual research for creating new ways of social knowledge production, coming from the jungle, decolonized and feminine. The reflections here shared are the result of a collaborative investigation with the Sapara women of the Ecuadorian Amazon, which explored to understand the Amazonian feminine power, from the inquiry of the methodological intersection between film and anthropology as researching and knowledge transmission devices.
