Orality and Cinema in Angola and Mozambique
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of the presence of orality in the cinemas of Angola and Mozambique since independence. We will question the very scarce presence of adaptations of traditional stories, and attempt to provide an explanation, and we will pay special attention to some works which, at the end of the seventies, appear to consciously reflect tensions between orality and writing, Portuguese and local languages, modernity and tradition.
