The following article is a review of the history of visual anthropology from the practice of their most demanded tool: the cinema. Cinema and anthropology are projects being developed in the twentieth century, from modernism to postmodernism, some times converging and distancing in many others. The epistemological possibilities that visual media and films has allowed in the past and may have in the future for anthropology are rewiewed in this article.
