POST-WAR PHOTOGRAMMES, 1946-1962. A tour through film history

In the Archives of Cineteca are shown some of the intricacies of the publishing industry and cinema of the Franco regime, and also, it is intended to contextualize the experience of spectators. For this it has been built up documents of a very important informative, historical, cultural and sentimental value, whose basis is the Fotograma's achive, that is exposed for the first time to the public and that has been complemented with a collection of programs such as cinemas film journals of the time, opinion articles and reports of censure, among other pieces.

An attractive selection of very interesting and representative Fotograma's covers closes and completes the exhibition in the Hall. The public will have opportunity to enjoy with the full set of the first issues of the magazine, with its characteristic color saturation, that translates perfectly the Technicolor boom of those years, and from there to the nostalgic game of the black/white and red, in the portraits of Ava Gadner, Marilyn Monroe, Sara Montiel or Clark Gable, emblems of this imaginary of the cinematographic star system. A tour of "film postcards" that evokes also the stereotyped archetypes of beau, heroine and couple, that showed the magazine, an underlying reading that is a reflection of the cultural patterns of the period concerned.

Post-war photogrammes, 1946-1962 is a journey through shadow and light, through colour and black and white, through the public and the private, through the inside and outside of the world of film, where we become privileged spectators of a paradoxical age: of propaganda and prohibition, but also of ingenuity and reaction.
