Film Talk with Catarina Alves Costa about MARGOT

Moderation: Seggen Mikael


MARGOT, PT 2022, Catarina Alves Costa


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. Sara
