Based on the myth of the Amazon. A particularly sensorial film. The abstraction of an unfocused image gets transformed into a woman who takes skin from her breast until, now transfigured, she takes up new weapons: the bow and arrow. Federico Windhausen says that “In Ama-Zona and in A Dios, scattered meditations on female independence, eroticism, violence and mortality get intertwined through lyrical representations of various spaces — urban and rural, domestic and public— with a gaze in tune with the nuances of light, color and shadow”.
“The freedom of working with very little money is the freedom from having to sell, it is the freedom of working at home and by hand, without big crews or sets. Nor any time constraints. One shot is taken per day, or one per year. Each one chooses their time and space. For that reason, and for everything else, experimental film is a subversive art, more so than documentary or political cinema. More subversive than intellectual or conceptual cinema. Which is why so few go into it, and even fewer stay”. Narcisa Hirsch
