Divino Tserewahú

Roles: Director

Born in 1974, Xavante from the village of Sangradouro, Divino followed the work started by his brother and began to learn about cinema in 1990, when the Xavante community of Sangradouro received its first film camera (VHS). Then the productions and recordings of, above all, ceremonials for the village public begin. His first professional performance in the area was as part of the team for Programa de Índio, a TV series produced at the Federal University of Mato Grosso between 1995 and 1996. In 1997, Divino participated in the first meeting and training workshop for indigenous filmmakers in Brazil, organized by Vídeo nas Aldeias and held in the Xingu Indigenous Park. Between 2001 and 2002, through Video in the Villages, he got a place to study at the International Film School of San António de Los Baños, in Cuba, where he trained in editing techniques, documentary and fiction scripts, animation, among others.
