I am self-taught in the field of cinema. In the 90s, I crossed paths with director Paulo Rocha, and this is where the schooling I didn’t have began. It was all a matter of chance. Paulo was very impressed with a documentary I directed about a family of shepherds in Barrancos, and, for no other reason, invited me to assemble his feature-length film, “O Rio do Ouro”. I owe him having gotten into cinema. Until he passed away, I edited all his films. My professional life has mainly been split between editing and directing documentaries, mostly released through RTP2.
