In our current global situation of climate change and environmental catastrophe, many environmental humanities scholars are turning to indigenous ontologies to seek out answers and guidance. The five movies curated for the festival showcase narratives from indigenous communities from several Latin American countries and portray their struggles and strategies of survival. With the festival, we hope to honor their voices by showcasing their work to our Rutgers community.<\/p>\n

The 2023 Latin American Film Festival<\/strong>\u00a0is organized by Mentoring for Social Justice and Community-Building Project<\/em> participants Ariela Parisi, Rachel Perez, Cel\u00edn Hidalgo, and Ivy Lopez-Flores.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cIt explains the rain forest in a way I had never understood before, but the film fascinated me as cinema, as an admirable aesthetic experience.\u201d \u2013 Luiz Carlos Merten, Good Planet, Estadao<\/span><\/p>\n

The Amazon is a vast laboratory for sustainable experiments that are revealing new relationships among human beings, corporations, and the natural heritage crucial for life on the planet. This is where the guidelines are being drawn up for a new global economic model: the green economy. With an astonishing soundtrack and cinematography, Eternal Amazon presents a critical analysis of how the world\u2019s largest tropical rainforest is understood and utilized.<\/span><\/p>\n
