MARGOT
Portugal 2022 – Director: Catarina Alves Costa – Original with English subtitles – Length: 72 min.
A perspective on a perspective that seeks to document what has seemingly disappeared. On several occasions between 1958 and 1961, the anthropologist Margot Dias visited the Makonde in Mozambique to record their art and culture. The director rediscovers these recordings and travels to their place of origin. In Mozambique she shows the material to the descendants of the Makonde and symbolically returns it to them.
