“If you're a certain type of actor, then eventually stepping into a director's shoes is a natural transition. I've always been the actor who's very focused on the narrative, where my character is in the story, and how I can benefit the story. I've always had a technical aspect of what the lens is, how the camera is going to move, how I can feed the information the director applies within that move.

“Photography, precisely because it can only be produced in the present and because it is based on what exists objectively before the camera, takes its place as the most satisfactory medium for registering objective life in all its aspects, and from this comes its documental value. If to this is added sensibility and understanding and, above all, a clear orientation as to the place it should have in the field of historical development, I believe that the result is something worthy of a place in social production, to which we should all contribute.” IfsShouldBelieveValuesI BelieveSocialUnderstandingResultsClearFieldsDevelopmentPhotographyAspectShould HaveCamerasHistoricalProductionsWorthyObjectivesMediumsSensibilityOrientation Author:Tina Modotti
“I've realized that a lot of people go to see film or theater with a different expectation.
