A friend of Alberto Cavalcanti and a great admirer of Humberto Mauro , he was very interested in the aesthetics of "natural film" and the recording of reality - according to Linduarte, "true Brazilian cinema will only be able to achieve universality one day when it returns to the anthropological element" , ideas that would become the tone of his work, whether in films, reviews, essays or reports.
