Who was António Campos?

António Campos was one of the pioneer filmmakers of visual anthropology in Portugal. Mainly using pure documentary techniques, he shot ethnographic films and tried docufiction. As well as in fictional films, he used the methods of direct cinema to portrait the life of ancient human communities of his country.

He started making films at the beginning of the sixties, at the same time as John Marshall and Michel Brault. Without knowing much about Jean Rouch, he followed his steps in an original way.
