RIO QUE NÃO É RIO
Os 35 anos e os 35 milímetros me comovem e materializam o voar do tempo. Estou especialmente tocada em poder trazer esse emaranhado de emoções para uma publicação. A trajetória da Maquina é marcada pela retomada do cinema nacional e as subsequentes interrupções e retornos de políticas públicas de incentivo à sétima arte. Cada ano passado significou sempre uma vitória, e a beleza do conjunto se dá no arco do tempo, na continuidade do trabalho.

DESDOBRAMENTOS
A cada dia admiro mais quem olha o mundo sem cinismo, e quem olha o outro com paixão. É a paixão intensa da Helô que se jogou naquele tanque do cortume em Caruaru misturada com sua doçura, que vive como se cada dia fosse o último que estão expressas nas suas imagens. Espero que este livro seja apenas o primeiro desta grande artista que tenho orgulho de conhecer e pela qual sinto um carinho de irmã.
