Héctor Orozco and Daniela Michel.

During the tour, Héctor Orozco mentioned the process he embarked on to select and mount this exhibition: "I tried to look for images in the Televisa archive that had reference to this very impressive way that he had to dramatize the scenes, try to set a mood that dictates the director's story in photography, the dramatic shades or light comedy. This is how I selected pieces of his filmography, looking for the most important directors like Luis Buñuel, Emilio "El Indio" Fernández, Julio Bracho.

Regarding the arrangement of the images in the exhibit, he said: "To think that a more or less chronological journey helps people to understand the character's story, a process that has not been attempted in these years but that amuses and excites me very much".
