A career connecting Mexican theatre and cinema
An actor and cultural organiser with decades of work on stage and screen.
From the stage to the screen
José Sefami is a Mexican actor whose work spans theatre, film and television. He has also helped develop cultural publishing around the performing arts.
In an interview with Mexico’s culture ministry, Sefami described theatre as central to his practice even while taking many film roles. His screen credits include Amores perros, Pastorela and Días de gracia.
He received the Ariel for supporting actor in 2010 for Conozca la cabeza de Juan Pérez. The award recognised his contribution to the Mexican film directed by Emilio Portes.
Sefami also co-founded Paso de Gato, a Mexican theatre magazine that expanded into a broader cultural publishing project. He later appears in Portes’s Don’t Leave the Kids Alone as Licenciado.
