Travelling Amazonia

2006 24 min

Overview

Travelling Amazonia was shot on the Transamazonian Highway, about 2,600-mile-long road cutting through Amazonia's vast forest. The construction of the Transamazonia generated industries around the extraction of natural resources like metal, wood, and rubber. In this film, these materials are used to build a dolly and tracks to realise a travelling shot upon this road. Through the realisation of this camera movement, which re-enacts the idealism of the Transamazonian project, this film addresses the processes and pioneering ideas invoked by the Brazilian military dictatorship in the building of this highway.
