The 2013 NC Latin American Film Festival presents:

The Master and Divino (O mestre e o Divino)
(Tiago Campos Torres with cinematography by Ernesto de Carvalho, 2013, 78 min, Brazil, in Portuguese with English subtitles, Color, DVD)

Two filmmakers portray life in the village and in the mission of Sangradouro, Mato Grosso: Adalbert Heide, an eccentric German missionary, who soon after the contact with the Indians, in 1957, starts to film with his Super-8 camera; and Divino Tserewahú, a young Xavante filmmaker who has produced films for television and film festivals since the '90s. Shifting between complicity, competition, irony and affect, they give life to their historical records, revealing peculiar back stages of indigenous catechization in Brazil.

-- Special Event with Video Nas Aldeias, Brazil.  Featuring Indigenous Filmmakers: Patricia Ferreira (Guarani), Ariel Duarte (Guarani), Divino Tserewahu (Xavante), and Ernesto de Carvalho (Video nas Aldeias), and Amalia Cordova, Native Networks, Smithsonian Institute, NYU.
