António Campos

May 29, 1922 · Leiria, Portugal

António Campos (29 May 1922 – 8 March 1999) 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 portray the life of ancient human communities (ethnofiction) of his country.

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