Abstract
Anthropologist/filmmaker Barbara Keifenheim studied the Kashinawa (Huni Kuin) of the Peruvian lowlands from 1977 until 1996. In this film, co-directed by Patrick Deshayes and originally made in a German and French version in 1984 using older film excerpts from a film from 1951 by Harald Schultz, the Indians speak about their cultural values, cosmology, rituals and their encounters with the Whites' world. Images of everyday life and work in metal-production from Germany are shown to the Indians and interpreted by them. Film images appear to them like their drug visions. The English version of 2009 contains concluding statements about cultural change in the Indians' world since the 1980s. (German subtitles, see film C 12693)
