 Pi'õnhitsi, Mulheres Xavánte Sem Nome/Pi'õnhitsi, Unnamed Xavánte Women
(2010, 56 min.) BRAZIL
Director: Divino Tserewahú (Xavánte) and Tiago Campos Tôrres
Produced by: Video in the Villages
In Xavánte and Portuguese with English subtitles.
After years of attempts to make a film about the Xavánte female initiation ritual, which now only survives only in Tserewahú’s own village, the filmmakers change course and offer a fascinating account in which young and old discuss the difficulties and resistance involved in carrying out the celebration.
