About the Film:
Pocahontas Returns is a 79-minute feature film that follows Natascha, a German artist disillusioned by New York’s materialism, as she travels to Santa Cruz, Bolivia. There, she meets Leonardo, a Bolivian architect, and their love story unfolds amid cultural clashes and societal challenges. The film explores themes of identity, feminism, and post-colonial dynamics.
Set in two vibrant yet contrasting worlds—hypermodern New York City and neo-baroque Santa Cruz—the film combines telenovela aesthetics with satire, performance art, and heartfelt storytelling to challenge cultural prejudices and spark dialogue about the human experience.

This film blends the aesthetics of 1980s/90s telenovelas with the narrative depth of a mosaic-style, interwoven story. It explores the loss of values in the modern world, juxtaposed against ancient wisdom, and tells the love story of a German artist and a Bolivian architect. The film embodies cultural ambiguity and tension in an era of rapid globalization, with love serving as a bridge.
If you’re excited about editing a film that combines artistic experimentation with profound social themes, we would love to hear from you! This is an excellent opportunity to enhance your portfolio while contributing to a project that bridges worlds and inspires audiences.
