Sempre mantiven unha relación especial cos filmes realizados na época en que vin ao mundo e, en especial, con aqueles que se refiren á miña cultura; é coma se portasen un segredo do que eu non debería ser coñecedor. Souben deles polos sons que puiden ouvir pero non entendía, e polas faces que vía pero cuxa expresión non era quen de interpretar daquela. Esas cintas permitíanme existir unha vez máis, non como a persoa que eu coidaba que era, senón como unha parte 6
I've always had a special relationship with films made at the time I came into this world, especially those relating to my culture. It's as if they were carrying a secret I was not supposed to know about. I learn from them about the sounds I might have heard but didn’t understand and the faces I saw but couldn't read at the time. Those films let me exist once more, not as the person I thought I was, but as a tiny part of bigger movements. They make me realize who I am.
