Stills from the animated film.

"Unter Menschenfressern / Amongst the Man-eaters" shows a journey across an exotic land. A child-like voice reads passages from one of the oldest ethnographic reports, the journal ofJean de Léry who approached Brasil in 1556 as a missionary. An ambivalent relationship between admiration and dominion of the 'savages' is expressed in his descriptions.
Inspiration was given not only by de Léry, but also by works of Claude Lévi-Strauss, Mircea Eliade, Melvin Goldstein and other ethnographic literature.
