content: Edited film produced from the 1971 Yanomamo film project shot in the Amazon Basin of southern Venezuela and northern Brazil between the Negro and the Upper Orinoco rivers. Film documents a performance of the myth of Jaguar--a prominent figure throughout South American mythology--by a virtuoso Yanomamo storyteller. The nuances of non-verbal communication and the details of the narrative suggest reflections on the nature of performance and communication in Yanomamo society and the complexity of its intellectual systems.
