Moana (1926) is a ocumentary film, the first docufiction in the history of cinema, directed by Robert J. Flaherty, the creator of Nanook of the North (1922). Contemporary to Robert Flaherty, the Portuguese José Leitão de Barros is with him one of the first filmmakers to explore docufiction and ethnofiction as forms of dramatic narrative: Maria do Mar (1930) is the second one.
