  1. 🎬 Brazil Unfiltered: Piripkura (2017)

    Filmhuis Cavia, Friday, October 23 at 08:00 PM GMT+2

    Brazil Unfiltered comes back from 1 to 31 October with a special curation of documentary films to contextualise the presidential elections taking place in Brazil this month. Centred around territorial struggles and the frontlines of resistance, the programme starts with a masterpiece from the late Eduardo Coutinho, followed by a sequence of 3 films set in the Amazon and a closure event + screening about climate resilience and ecological farming.


    PIRIPKURA
    Renata Terra, Mariana Oliva, Bruno Jorge | 2017 | Brazil | 81’ | EN subtitles

    Piripkura is the chronicle of an expedition in the Amazonian habitat of the nomadic Piripkura ethnic group’s last remaining members, who can only have their territory protected if there is proof they are still living there. Two of only three of them are known to still live in this area. Every two years, a team of governmental workers trek into the jungle for weeks in search of them. Their most important possession is a torch that was lit in 1998 and has remained so ever since. The area where they live is encircled by farms and sawmills, whose almost inevitable expansion is taking place through violent means.

    The film sheds light on the tragedy befalling indigenous Amazon people: the systematic violence used against them is a constant menacing presence. Despite the impressive resilience and tenacity of the last of the Piripkura, an inevitable question hangs in the air: how long can it last?

    Winner of the Amsterdam Human Rights Award at IDFA 2017.

  7. Album Recommendations – August 2026


    I’ve given up on trying to regularly write reviews of new albums, but I still want to share albums I enjoyed.  Below are several new (and new-ish) albums – no ratings, no criticism – just music I enjoy listening to and hope you will too

    Kieran Hebden, the English electronic musician who typically releases music under the name Four Tet, has opted to make his latest release nearly impossible to find on streaming services.  Set aside that the artist, album, and track listing are all written in unpronounceable “wingdings,” this is an engaging mix of spiritual and danceable tracks.

    AlbumForeign Tongues
    Artist: Rolling Stones
    Genre: Blues Rock
    Release Date: July 10, 2026
    Label:Polydor | Capitol
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Rough and Twisted
    • Ringing Hollow
    • Never Wanna Lose You
    • Beautiful Delilah

    It seems inexplicable that the Rolling Stones are still releasing new music in the 2020s much less some of their best music since the 1970s.  The Blues Rock extravaganza features guest appearances from Steve Winwood, Robert Smith (of The Cure), Bruno Mars, and Paul McCartney, as well as some of the final contributions of the late drummer Charlie Watts.

    Album: Florida Water Blues
    Artist: Twisted Teens
    Genre: Garage Rock
    Release Date: July 10, 2026
    Label: Going Underground Records
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Why Did You Miss It?
    • Swamp
    • Florida Water Blues
    • Weather the Season

    Twisted Teens are back with their second album of folk-and-country inflected, swampy, garage rock.  See my March post for their previous release.

    Album: Emotional Junglist
    Artist: Nia Archives 
    Genre: Jungle, R&B, Indie Rock
    Release Date: July 17, 2026
    Label: Hijinxx | Island
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Feelingz Go Numb
    • Danger
    • Get Me Down
    • Superlust
    • Boys in Blue

    English DJ/producer/singer/songwriter Nia Archives is a self-described junglist, but this album doesn’t fit one genre.  The tracks explore R&B, Indie Rock, and Dream Pop to the extent that I sometimes forget that it’s the same artist.

     

    Album: América!
    Artist: Orquesta Akokán
    Genre: Latin Jazz
    Release Date: July 17, 2026
    Label: Daptone Records
    Favorite Tracks:

    • No Me Voy
    • Hace Tiempo
    • Girassol

    This Cuban-American ensemble keeps alive the mambo traditions of the mid 20th century.  The energy of their performance is captured in this live in the studio recording.

    Kieran Hebden, the English electronic musician who typically releases music under the name Four Tet, has opted to make his latest release nearly impossible to find on streaming services.  Set aside that the artist, album, and track listing are all written in unpronounceable “wingdings,” this is an engaging mix of spiritual and danceable tracks.

    AlbumForeign Tongues
    Artist: Rolling Stones
    Genre: Blues Rock
    Release Date: July 10, 2026
    Label:Polydor | Capitol
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Rough and Twisted
    • Ringing Hollow
    • Never Wanna Lose You
    • Beautiful Delilah

    It seems inexplicable that the Rolling Stones are still releasing new music in the 2020s much less some of their best music since the 1970s.  The Blues Rock extravaganza features guest appearances from Steve Winwood, Robert Smith (of The Cure), Bruno Mars, and Paul McCartney, as well as some of the final contributions of the late drummer Charlie Watts.

    Album: Florida Water Blues
    Artist: Twisted Teens
    Genre: Garage Rock
    Release Date: July 10, 2026
    Label: Going Underground Records
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Why Did You Miss It?
    • Swamp
    • Florida Water Blues
    • Weather the Season

    Twisted Teens are back with their second album of folk-and-country inflected, swampy, garage rock.  See my March post for their previous release.

    Album: Emotional Junglist
    Artist: Nia Archives 
    Genre: Jungle, R&B, Indie Rock
    Release Date: July 17, 2026
    Label: Hijinxx | Island
    Favorite Tracks:

    • Feelingz Go Numb
    • Danger
    • Get Me Down
    • Superlust
    • Boys in Blue

    English DJ/producer/singer/songwriter Nia Archives is a self-described junglist, but this album doesn’t fit one genre.  The tracks explore R&B, Indie Rock, and Dream Pop to the extent that I sometimes forget that it’s the same artist.

     

    Album: América!
    Artist: Orquesta Akokán
    Genre: Latin Jazz
    Release Date: July 17, 2026
    Label: Daptone Records
    Favorite Tracks:

    • No Me Voy
    • Hace Tiempo
    • Girassol

    This Cuban-American ensemble keeps alive the mambo traditions of the mid 20th century.  The energy of their performance is captured in this live in the studio recording.
