The Video in the Villages Project
"You see the world of the other and you look at your own"
The Video in the Villages’ project has promoted over 14 years, the encounter of the Indians with their images. The project’s proposal is to turn the video into a tool that will enable the expression of their identity, reflecting their vision about themselves and about the world.
While equipping the indigenous communities with video equipment, the project has stimulated image and information exchange among the nations. Initially the training of Indian video-makers was done village-by-village, providing records for their own use. Today, through national and regional workshops, they learn and discuss together ways to present their reality, for their own people and for the world.
