POCAHONTAS RETURNS:
New York artist Natascha - lost in the hyperreality of the metropolis - flees to Bolivia in search of a mystical and primal world. In Santa Cruz, she falls in love with Bolivian architect Leonardo and the couple goes through a period marked by cross-cultural love and culture clash. The experimental feature film POCAHONTAS RETURNS is an intercultural love story with references to telenovela and performance art. It deals with the lost values of today's world and the search for originality and wisdom between the hypermodern metropolis of New York and the neo-baroque Santa Cruz in Bolivia.
The debut film of director Nadja Verena Marcin is supported by the New York Foundation for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, Bildkunst AG and the Ministry of Culture of North Rhine-Westphalia, and will be shown on a festival/exhibition tour and as VOD. This is a micro budget project, travel, stay and meals will be covered, deferred payment for day rate.
