Taking into account the actor, psychodrama and Brazilian cinema. By Dara Oliver As you can see, I haven't decided whether this is a text, an e-book, or a book.

Conducting this interview with Cecílio Elias Neto was, without exaggeration, one of the most moving moments in the entire process of making the documentary Piracicaba Never Forgot.

There are encounters that transcend time. Interviewing Cecílio Elias Neto for the documentary Piracicaba Never Forgot was one of them. And meeting Chico Andia again, with his living memory of projectors, seats, and sound, was another.

Among the many interviews recorded for Piracicaba Never Forgot, speaking with Chico Andia was, without doubt, one of the most striking.

Durante todo o processo de criação do documentário Piracicaba Nunca Esqueceu, um sentimento me acompanhou com constância: carinho Carinho por cada pessoa que se dispôs a sentar diante de mim e contar sua história com o cinema.

Oi! Eu sou a Dara Oliver, formada em Cinema e Audiovisual pela Unespar e atualmente fazendo Mestrado em Film na Queen’s University Belfast, na Irlanda do Norte. Trabalho como assistente de direção em curtas, documentários e videoclipes, e já passei por muitas madrugadas de set, scouts técnicos, planilhas infinitas e aquelas situações que só quem vive a rotina do audiovisual entende.

Espero que esse material te ajude, nem que seja pra você pensar: “ok, não sou só eu.”
