| Sumario: | The article analyses Silvino Santos's Filmogramas, a collection of hitherto neglected domestic films the Portuguese-Brazilian filmmaker (1886-1970) made in the late 1920s while accompanying his employer's family, the Araújos, in Portugal. Combining archival research, interviews, and film analysis, I reconnect the Amazonian and European experiences of (colonial) conquest and domesticity that Santos's life trajectory and film production depict and embody. The aim is to move beyond regional and hagiographic historiographies and build a more critical and anthropologically informed entangled history of a figure and an epochal milieu that continue to permeate and shape contemporary understandings of the past. |
