Algumas notas à margem do filme Vilarinho das Furnas de António Campos

Abstract

The article discusses the intertextuality between the film Vilarinho das Furnas (1971), by António Campo and the work of Jorge Dias Vilarinho da Furna, uma aldeia comunitária (1948) or, more generally, the relationship between anthropology and cinema or the ethnographic and cinematographic and literary artistic creations by mapping some issues that have attracted my attention to other possible research, publications, or debates. Vilarinho da Furna would have disappeared from the map and memory if an Ethnologist, a Filmmaker, and a Writer had not created an imagination beyond the reality of a community squeezed between the harsh harshness of the mountain range and the narrow strip of cultivated land “where it is most perfectly preserved a system of a community organization that was once widespread throughout Europe and is now disappearing”.
