Sales agency Utopia Docs has shared the international trailer in exclusivity with Variety for 'Canuto's Transformation,' the acclaimed film that secured the best film and outstanding artistic contribution awards in the Envision section of the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam. Following its success at IDFA, the film has been selected for prestigious festivals such as Taiwan Documentary Festival, Cinelatino Toulouse, Jean Rouch Film Festival, and Tempo Doc Fest. Descoloniza Filmes is set to distribute the film in Brazil.
'Canuto's Transformation,' directed by Ariel Kuaray Ortega and Ernesto de Carvalho, delves into the intriguing tale of Canuto, a man who underwent a mysterious metamorphosis into a jaguar before meeting a tragic end. The film uniquely blends documentary elements with a re-enactment of Canuto's story, with all roles portrayed by members of a Mbyá-Guaraní community situated on the Brazil-Argentina border.
