Abstract

Through the analysis of two documentaries — Pi’õnhitsi e Mokoi Tekoá Petei Jeguatá , the article suggests the constitutive nature of the “antecampo” (the space behind the camera) in the indigenous films. It is the space in which the director enacts a double and interchangeable role: within the scene, as a member of the community, and out of the scene, as a filmmaker. Then, we unfold the hypothesis that, through the exposition of the “antecampo”, the indigenous cinema expresses, by mise-en-abyme, the engendering between culture and “culture”.
