He is part of a generation of filmmakers from the National Institute of Mozambique, in the years that followed the Independence, with different directors among them Ruy Guerra, Godard and Jean Rouch.

He cycles through fiction and documentary, always inspired in relevant facts. In the documentaries, when the off voice exists, it’s one of the leading actors being the base of the narrative with its own actions that develop in front of the camera in a spontaneous way.
