Resumo: | Heinz Förthmann (1915-1978) was one of the most talented film-makers in the history of Brazilian ethnographic film. But the films that he made at the height of his powers, in the 1950s, now exist only in degraded or fragmentary form, or have been lost entirely, and for this reason, he has not received the recognition that he deserves. Following a review of Förthmann’s career, and on the basis of an incomplete rough-cut lacking both soundtrack and titles, this article offers a reconstruction of Funeral Bororo, a film that he shot in 1953. If it had been completed, this film would surely now be regarded not only as Förthmann’s masterwork, but also as a major contribution to the canon of ethnographic film, both within Brazil and across the world. |

No entanto, os filmes que fez no auge de seu prestígio, na década de 1950, agora existem apenas de forma degradada ou fragmentária, ou se perderam inteiramente e, por isso, Förthmann não recebeu o reconhecimento que merece. A partir de uma revisão da carreira de Förthmann, e com base em uma versão incompleta e sem trilha sonora e títulos, este artigo oferece uma reconstrução de Funeral Bororo, um filme por ele realizado em 1953. Se tivesse sido concluído, este filme certamente seria considerado não apenas a obra-prima de Förthmann, mas também uma importante contribuição para o cânone do cinema etnográfico, tanto no Brasil quanto no mundo.AIM - Associação de Investigadores da Imagem em Movimento2022-07-05info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.14591/aniki.v9n2.885https://doi.org/10.14591/aniki.v9n2.885Aniki: Portuguese Journal of the Moving Image; Vol 9 No 2 (2022): Cinema and anthropology; 127-165Aniki: Revista Portuguesa da Imagem em Movimento; v. 9 n. 2 (2022): Cinema e antropologia; 127-1652183-175010.14591/aniki.v9n2reponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAPenghttp://aim.org.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/885http://aim.org.pt/ojs/index.php/revista/article/view/885/501Direitos de Autor (c) 2022 Aniki: Revista Portuguesa da Imagem em Movimentoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHenley, PaulCaiuby Novaes, Sylvia2024-01-26T02:03:31Zoai:aim.org.pt/ojs/:article/885Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T01:57:24.529967Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

Heinz Förthmann (1915-1978) was one of the most talented film-makers in the history of Brazilian ethnographic film. But the films that he made at the height of his powers, in the 1950s, now exist only in degraded or fragmentary form, or have been lost entirely, and for this reason, he has not received the recognition that he deserves. Following a review of Förthmann’s career, and on the basis of an incomplete rough-cut lacking both soundtrack and titles, this article offers a reconstruction of Funeral Bororo, a film that he shot in 1953. If it had been completed, this film would surely now be regarded not only as Förthmann’s masterwork, but also as a major contribution to the canon of ethnographic film, both within Brazil and across the world. |
