Resumo(s)
Nelisita (Carvalho, 1982, Nelisita: narrativas nianeka), a pioneering African vernacular language fiction film from the early phase of Angolan cinema, inspired me to conduct a
series of interconnected exercises in visual anthropology. I produced an experimental
archive-based remake (Ponte, 2016, 127 stills or 34 scenes from Nelisita) and screened
it in both transnational urban contexts and an Angolan rural context reminiscent of
the film's setting. This article discusses the multi-sited chain of production and recep tion of this short archival remake and various localized contemporary responses to
it. The article examines an evolving concern with the materiality of the archive and
how both foreign urban and familiar rural audiences received the film's narrative and
change of genre.
