PASSION FOR THE IMAGE: BENJAMIM PEREIRA AND THE ETHNOGRAPHIC FILM
Benjamim Enes Pereira, a native of Carreço, Viana do Castelo, was part of the brilliant team led by António Jorge Dias that founded modern Portuguese anthropology. Benjamim, the youngest of them all, was the last to join the group and became the great museologist, artist and director of the impressive exhibitions that the National Museum of Ethnology held for decades. Over the years, he helped dozens of local and regional museums organise action plans, conceive and design exhibitions. Benjamim was born on 25 December 1928 and left this world on 1 January 2020. His work remains a testimony to his dedication and passion for the country and its people. Photography and ethnographic film were an important part of that passion.

- With the presence of the Confraria do Vinho Verde, followed by a musical performance by the Cantadeiras do Vale do Neiva.
- The Cantadeiras do Vale do Neiva are a folk singing group founded in 1982 by ethnographer Manuel Delfim da Silva Pereira, following extensive oral and photographic work in the parishes bordering the River Neiva. Dedicated to preserving and interpreting the region's traditional musical heritage, the Cantadeiras first appeared in Portela Susã and quickly gained local recognition. After an interregnum caused by the illness and death of the founder, the group was restarted in 2002 by Lassalete Gonçalves, maintaining the authenticity of the repertoire and the tradition of a cappella singing. In 2009, the group formalised itself as the ‘Associação Cantadeiras do Vale do Neiva’. Its 24 members have come to present some of their a cappella repertoire at the APA congress
