Guarani epistemology offers critical interpretations of modernity, revealing both the persistence of colonial violence and the resilience of Indigenous struggles for land and life. Grounded in the decolonial theoretical methodological framework, this article examines Guarani cinema as historical knowledge emerging from Indigenous research. The research focuses on films by the Mbyá-Guarani Cinema Collective, par- ticularly Desterro Guarani (2011) and Tava, a Casa de Pedra (2012), which explore the Jesuit-Guarani colonial history in the South of Abya Yala and its consequences in present times, highlighting indigenous territorialities and temporalities.
