Between 1962 and 1970, Brazilian anthropologist Roberto DaMatta conducted his doctoral research based on fieldwork with the Apinajé People in Central Brazil. His dissertation," presented at Harvard University in 1971, was later published as a book in Brazil in 1976 (“A Divided World: The Social Structure of Apinajé Indians.” DaMatta donated his personal archive to FGV CPDOC (Center for Research and Documentation on Contemporary Brazilian History) in 2022. The archive included thousands of audiovisual records of his fieldwork among the Apinajé People: around 3,000 photographs, dozens of cassette tape recordings, and a Super-8 film. These records document families, individuals, places, rituals, and festivals – a collection very relevant to the memory of the Apinajé People. To organize the archive and to make it available to the Apinajé, a project was created: Indigenous Documentary Heritage: Collaborative Work between FGV CPDOC and the Apinajé People." In 2023, the anthropologist returned with a team from FGV CPDOC to the Apinajé Indigenous Territory after more than 45 years of separation. The team documented not only the (re)encounter between DaMatta and the Apinajé People but also the (re)encounter between the indigenous people and the images of their past. Through the archival photos, records and the Super-8 film, the Apinajé could see and recognize their relatives and places and remember old rituals and festivals. Among awakened memories, tearful salutations, and journeys through time, the film portrays the various (re)encounters and reunions that this experience allowed, marked by different subjectivities and shared emotions.
