Cinema, Architecture, Ideology. An episode of the Spain of the Autarky

The 1930s and 1940s are the golden age of the film company CIFE-SA within a Spanish panorama as complex and contradictory as the years of the Second Republic and the first years of the new Franco regime, not only monopolizing the largest production of films but also of actors, directors and filmmakers. In all his productions, the dedication and care for the atmosphere and the quality of the sets will be present, which, although full of fantasy, also reveal the particular idiosyncrasy of what we can call the arquitectonic eclecticism of the moment, debating between the multiple proposals that both the past rationalism and the new ideals of the regime never finished forging in a solid, consolidated and exemplary style of the ideology of the new State.
