Clash of Cultures
At the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill
The Hamptons International Film Festival’s “25 Films in 25 Years” series will continue tomorrow at 6 p.m. at the Parrish Art Museum in Water Mill with a screening of “Embrace of the Serpent,” a 2015 entry that went on to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.
Inspired by the real experiences of explorers in the Amazon, the Colombian film, directed by Ciro Guerra, follows the parallel stories over 40 years of Karamakate, a shaman of an extinct tribe, and two scientists in search of a sacred plant with healing powers. The film explores the thirst for knowledge and the ravages of colonialism that have destroyed indigenous cultures.
Tickets are $20, $5 for members.
