Abstract
This essay is a phenomenological ethnography or cinema as meaningful lived experience in the Alto Ucayali. It also explores the analogy between films and hallucinogen ayahuasca called "cinema of the forest" that renders the normally-invisihle powerful beings in visible form . If film and ayahuasca are similar, both experiences differ from dreaming.
