Decantando as Águas - O Turista Aprendiz Revisitado 1985

Directed by Maureen Bisilliat

Maureen Bisilliat retraces the path taken by Mário de Andrade through the Amazon in 1927. Covering 2,500 kilometers in five weeks on board Lima Gonçalves IV - from Belém to Manaus by the Amazon River and up to Porto Velho by the Madeira River -, the photographer recorded her impressions in a river diary written for his grandson Nicholas, then 5 years old.
