This screening has been rescheduled after a technical issue. All tickets from the Tuesday, January 17th, 2023 at 7:00 PM screening will be honored automatically.

This prize-winning film by Paragyuan director Paz Encina is a lyrical and sensitive portrayal of the Ayoreo-Totobiegosode people, whose ancestral homelands in the Gran Chaco region are critically threatened by illegal deforestation. Blending documentary with Indigenous mythologies, EAMI follows a young girl who wanders the forest following her community’s expulsion from their home. Developed in close collaboration with the Ayoreo community, the film’s immersive soundscape is a collage of interviews that guides Eami through a magical-realist landscape marked by real-life violence in a powerful form of witnessing.

For members at the Explore category and above, tickets will become available two weeks before the screening date, starting at 10:30 a.m. Additional tickets will be available to members and the general public one week before the screening date, also at 10:30 a.m. Please note that space is extremely limited and tickets will be in high demand.

This film accompanies The Contenders 2022.
