Guiné, Aldeia Indígena em Lisboa / Guinea-Bissau, Indial Village in Lisbon
by Agência Geral das Colônias
(Documentary, Portugal, 1931, 12'25”, BW, silent, Fr ST)
The public rushes around the Minister to visit, as at the zoo, a Guinean village reconstituted in a park of Lisbon: daily activities, Muslim prayer, women with bare breasts. The camera pins faces, attitudes, busts. Then accompanies a dance to the sound of marimbas and drums. To conclude this exotic visit, kings of the tribe are decorated by a general, under the bust of the Republic.
