In 2024, in the city of Manaus, as part of the Olhar do Norte Amazon Film Festival program, an experimental 16mm film workshop was held, taught by filmmaker and photographer Raffaella Rosset, a beautiful immersion in 16mm material. Through experimentation, the participants were able to paint directly onto the 16mm film, creating possibilities, freedom of thought and construction, thus generating a collective film full of feelings. The film also features the Rio Negro and its tributaries, which magically bathe the city of Manaus, which in the Manaós language means “Mother of the Gods”. All hail the magic of cinema.

Around the year 2000 AD, it was reported in the news that about two million cotton pickers rush to the vast land of Xinjiang every year, just like migratory birds, arriving in September and leaving in November. With curiosity, I also joined this "migratory bird" team and headed straight to the Xinjiang farm thousands of miles away. The train was very crowded, and among the cotton pickers who were mostly female workers, the vast and beautiful Xinjiang surprised these "migratory birds" for the first time. The hardships and joy in Xinjiang's cotton fields were also their first experiences. This film is the memory of me joining the migratory bird team as a cotton picker.
