ROTTERDAM 2022: EAMI BY PAZ ENCINA
By Monica Delgado
After the October 2021’s of documentary Veladores, Paraguayan filmmaker Paz Encina quickly returns to the screens with a political fiction about the destruction of a community. Made possible with a series of international funds, EAMI (2022), which competes for the Tiger award, is an elegy on the disintegration of the native Ayoreo Totobiegosode people, who reside between the Paraguayan and Bolivian Chaco, and how Mennonite landowners intervene on their lands.
