This article proposes a reflection about the presence of the family archive images presented in the short film FotogrÁFRICA, by Tila Chitunda, which leads us to think together with the Deleuzian concept of recollection-image. We carry out this analysis understanding the film as the product of an intercultural cinema, which is located at the intersection of two cultural knowledge regimes, in this case Brazil and Angola, countries on the Black Atlantic route. In view of these images, we access what is visible and virtual and explore its paradoxical aspects. At the time they are presented as family records, the photographs also expose colonial oppression and violence committed against identities and individualities.
