Perfectly a Strangeness

Three donkeys wander into an abandoned observatory. What follows is less a story than an invitation to see the world differently. Without dialogue, “Perfectly a Strangeness” unfolds through light, sound, movement, and music, blurring the boundaries between documentary, fiction, and visual art. Premiering at the Festival de Cannes, this extraordinary film transforms a forgotten place into a meditation on curiosity and our place in the universe. A film for those who have always wondered what the world looks like through a donkey's eyes.

Yanuni

One fights in the rainforest. The other in the halls of power. As Indigenous leader Juma Xipaia takes her place in Brazil’s first Ministry of Indigenous Peoples, her husband Hugo dismantles illegal gold mines deep in the Amazon. Together, they risk everything to protect the forest they call home. Told with remarkable intimacy and breathtaking scale, “Yanuni” by Austrian director Richard Ladkani follows a woman balancing political responsibility, motherhood, and constant danger. A film for those drawn to stories of courage and extraordinary people.

Er kämpft im Regenwald, sie in den politischen Machtzentren Brasiliens. Als indigene Anführerin wird Juma Xipaia Teil des weltweit ersten Ministeriums für Indigene Völker, während ihr Mann Hugo tief im Amazonas illegale Goldminen bekämpft. Gemeinsam riskieren sie alles, um ihre Heimat zu verteidigen. Intim und zugleich bildgewaltig begleitet „Yanuni“ eine Frau zwischen politischer Verantwortung, Mutterschaft und Widerstand. Ein Film für alle, die sich von Geschichten über Mut und außergewöhnliche Menschen inspirieren lassen.
