Paraguay’s official submission for both Documentary and International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards, Nothing but the Sun tells the story of Mateo Sobode Chiqueno who has been recording stories, songs, and testimonies of his Ayoreo people -the last uncontacted people of the Chaco – since the seventies. Facing the consequences of a violent uprooting, and in an attempt to preserve fragments of a disappearing culture, Mateo walks across communities in the arid and desolate Paraguayan Chaco region, and registers on cassettes the experiences of other Ayoreo who, like him, were born in the vast forest, free and nomadic, without any contact with civilization, until religious missionaries forced them to abandon their ancestral territory, their means of subsistence, their beliefs and their home.
The festival program is in partnership with the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association
