The Amazon is a muse of an ecosystem, serving as inspiration for countless films, documentaries, works of literature and other forms of art.

The competition took place alongside the digital conference GLF Amazonia: The Tipping Point in collaboration with the Youth in Landscapes Initiative, with three winners selected for their films featuring traditional knowledge, crafts and stories. Here they are.
