Chaco

For years, Danièle Incalcaterra, co-director of Chaco alongside Fausta Quattrini, has been involved in an apparently impossible task: giving back to the Ñandeva Guarini natives 5,000 hectares of Paraguayan forest he inherited from his father who, in turn, received these lands as a cession from General Stroessner during the dictatorship in Paraguay. In was never in the director’s plans to exploit those lands to his benefit, but after receiving them, an idea blossomed in him: the dream of turning that land into a natural reserve, with a scientific observatory, together with the natives. He named it Arcadia, and turned it into the place of his personal utopia. (Mar del Plata International Film Festival)
