Synopsis

"Some Aspects Of Cape Verdean Culture" is a re-discovered and restored documentary shot in 1975 in cape verde at the time of independence by pioneering video artist Anthony D. Ramos. This was some of the earliest video work by ramos, who received a 1975 grant from the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities for travel to Cape Verde and a sony color 1/2" reel to reel video camera . Ramos , a cape verdean american, traveled to the islands of Sao Tiago, Fogo and Sao Vicente , and was the only american camera to capture the historic end of 500 years of Portuguese colonial rule. Over eighty hours of video were shot, and efforts are currently underway to raise funds to restore and transfer the rest of videos in this valuable archive.
