Margot Dias was possibly the most important Portuguese visual anthropologist of the 20th century. Besides her concerns with music (she was a trained pianist), it was in ethnographic studies and in her audiovisual documentation that she stood out. First in Portugal, on a musical survey in Trás-os-Montes, later in Northern Mozambique, having filmed dozens of ethnographic documentaries with the Makonde. Catarina Alves Costa, who knew her and with whom she was privy, returns her images to the contemporary Makonde, thus rediscovering the eye of a filmmaker.

This session also screens The Garbage Man directed by Laura Gonçalves.
