Crossroads of Spanish Film History
José-Luis Castro-de-Paz
The overall regrettable situation of Spanish cinema education in our universities, scattered throughout the most varied degrees, mistreated in the syllabuses and different programs, contrasts with a period of deep historiographical renovation. Several recent manuals and other serious works offer syntheses of a new intellectual path, one that approaches our cinema with methodological and analytical accuracy, leaving aside old prejudices regarding Spanish cinema and raising new interests in our students.
