In March 2006, the team for the Navegar Amazônia project left the Jandiá Channel in Macapá, bound for Belém. On board of a regional boat, adapted with a modern multimedia laboratory, were the project team and thirty persons. Guests included musicians Jorge Mautner, Nelson Jacobina, and Zé Miguel (from Macapá) and filmmakers Evaldo Mocarzel and Jorge Bodanzky. The objective was, along the way, through the cities of Belém, Abaetetuba and Tauerá-açu, to offer workshops in music, cinema, photography, video and art to the population visited on the river?s edge. In Belém, activities began with Indian shaman rites and Master Verequete, King of Carimbó, in addition to the three musicians aboard. The documentary Navegar Amazônia – Uma Viagem com Jorge Mautner is a record of the interaction between the guests and the local population. The Navegar Amazônia project captures and conveys contents of the Amazon in a unique way: from the heart of the forest and from the river to the world.
