0.2 Milligrams of Gold

Diego Quinderé de Carvalho, Belgium, Hungary, Portugal, 2021, 24’

Eight thousand five hundred kilometres lie between the Amazon and the Ardennes. In his home country of Brazil, filmmaker Diego looks at the inaccessible forest from the outside. Its Belgian counterpiece, however, is easier to explore.

Yarokamena

Andrés Jurado, Colombia, Portugal, 2022, 21’

In 20th-century Colombia, resistance fighter Yarokamena, a member of the indigenous Uitoto tribe, called for rebellion against violent exploitation of the rubber mining industry in the Amazone and invoked the spiritual powers of war.

Across continents and centuries, Diego Quinderé de Carvalho and Andrés Jurado search for what remains after extraction—of land, of memory, of spirit.

In 0,2 Milligrams of Gold, Quinderé de Carvalho offers an essayistic journey between the Amazon and the Ardennes, two forests shaped by unequal histories. One is impenetrable, the other, neatly ordered and accessible. Through the voices of a geologist, a gold miner, and an astronomer, the film stretches from soil to cosmos, tracing how human desire leaves its marks on the planet.

Myth becomes a vessel for rebellion in Yarokamena, where Jurado reclaims erased narratives as the spiritual powers of war: futuristic ruins collide with the story of the Uitoto resistance fighter who rose against the brutality of the rubber industry.

This double bill shows how landscapes remember what history tries to bury—offering visions of resistance that cross both space and era.
