Pioneer of Brazilian cinema. Humberto Mauro began his career in the provinces in 1926 and was brought to Rio de Janeiro by producer-director Adhemar Gonzaga in 1930. He went on to direct several features which were praised for their uniquely Brazilian style - notably Ganga Bruta (1933) - as well as making over 230 shorts for the National Institute of Educational Cinema. Several of the latter, including A Velha a Fiar (1964), became classics of the genre.
