Jakob took his life. He had emigrated to Portugal and was stricken with homesickness and longing. Two years later in Brother Jakob, Are You Sleeping? his four brothers, including director Stefan Bohun, take a trip into the past. Their different memories about the late brother gradually shape a family portrait in which everyone, even as adults, has had yet to find their place. A very considerate, personal film about farewells and reunions. The scattered archival footage, showing the brothers as children and teens imparts an unforeseen levity.

This unique documentary is a compelling collaborative effort by Arnav Koshy, a six-year-old boy living in the Andhra Pradesh region of South India, and renowned ethnographic filmmaker David MacDougall. The film explores the mind and varied activities of the keenly observant and intelligent Arnav. Arnav is fascinated by the geology, plant life, and ecology of the dry and rocky region in which he lives. Made in a direct and unobtrusive (yet highly perceptive) style, the film is both an engaging interactive encounter between a child and an adult as well as a powerful demonstration of the potential for complex thought and reasoning in early childhood. Combining a crisp and incisive visual style with a subtle, thought-provoking perspective, Arnav at Six will generate discussion in a variety of courses in Asian and Indian studies, cultural anthropology, and childhood development. It was produced by David MacDougall and is in English, but with English subtitles.

The film focuses on the personal journey of Ayahai, an 80-year-old Ayoreo elder, whose life spans the period of dramatic transition for the Ayoreo of South America’s Gran Chaco as they moved from nomadic hunter/gatherers to wage laborers. Currently a part-time panhandler in Santa Cruz, his story is common to many lowland indigenous peoples. Focuses on the personal journey of Ayahai, an 80-year-old Ayoreo elder and part-time panhandler in Santa Cruz whose life spans the period of dramatic transition for the Ayoreo of South America’s Gran Chaco as they change from nomadic hunter/gatherers into wage laborers. Ayahai’s testimony of the critical contact moment between the Ayoreo and Westerners is juxtaposed with the memories of Dr. Charles Ramsey, another Octogenarian who was one of the first missionaries to reach Ayahai’s group in the 1950s. Since that first meeting, the Ayoreo have been discriminated against at all levels of Bolivian and Paraguayan society and face debilitating poverty. During a village screening of the unfinished film with the filmmaker the Ayoreo community gains an opportunity to discuss and respond to the opinions of the non-Ayoreo in Santa Cruz. The documentary challenges stereotypical images of lowland indigenous peoples like the Ayoreo with a portrait of their lived experience, while raising questions of interest to a wider anthropological audience concerned with the politics of memory, representation and native rights in Latin America. Although a growing body of ethnographic and pictorial representations exist in Spanish, French and German, very little has been published on the Ayoreo in English, and even less has been filmed. Supplemented by traditional songs, the film puts a human face on a transnational tribal peoples struggle for self-determination.
