SYNOPSIS
What is Ipoti-Catu? Find out in “Ivoti, the Garden of German Immigration | 200 Years of History and Legacy”, a journey through time across Rio Grande do Sul. This documentary reveals how the arrival of the first Germans, together with Indigenous and Portuguese cultures, shaped a unique cultural identity in Brazil. A testament to the idea that migration is the story of humanity in constant motion.
TRIVIA / BEHIND THE SCENES:
The inspiration for this documentary came from a personal revelation experienced by the director during an Ayahuasca ceremony: the need to leave a legacy for the welcoming city of Ivoti. The filmmaker made a point of sensitively addressing people with disabilities (PWDs) as well as Indigenous peoples in the screenplay, honoring inclusion in the audiovisual work.
Filming began in April 2024 but was interrupted by the devastating floods that struck Rio Grande do Sul. In response to this moment, the director chose to incorporate powerful images of the reconstruction in São Leopoldo, drawing a parallel with the hardships faced by the first German immigrants upon arriving in the region in 1824. The film thus becomes a celebration of 200 years of German immigration, echoing the spirit of resilience that defines the state’s history.
