Film Notes

The idea of resettling an African village inside an Industrial Fair came in the wake of the success of the colonial fairs of the late twenties. For the commissioners of the event, nothing could be more exotic than the people of Guinea. This small Portuguese colony in Africa was not very familiar on account of its long-term resistance to colonial rule, but it was interesting because of the extraordinary number of ethnic groups present in such a small area.
