Yvy Pyte / Heart of the Earth
2023 | 110min | Brazil/Paraguai

This feature-length documentary was born from the desire of Guarani filmmaker Alberto Alvares (Tupã Ra'y). Historically, several borders were imposed on Guarani territory, causing serious changes. Encounters, displacements, new and old borders permeate the stories of this film, capable of taking us to the sacred territory "Yvy Pyte", from where the world emerged for the Guarani people, the Heart of the Earth.

Nūhū Yãg Mū Yõg Hãm / This Land is Our Land!
2020  | 70min | Brazil/Minas Gerais

In the past, white people didn't exist and we lived hunting with our Yãmĩyxop spirits. But the white people came, cut down the forests, dried up the rivers, and drove the animals away. Today, our long trees are gone, the white people have surrounded us, and our land is tiny. But our Yãmĩyxop are very strong and have taught us the stories and songs of the ancients who walked here.
