Abstract

Since the time of the encyclical Vigilanti cura (1936), the hierarchy of the Catholic Church had invited the Catholic world to take action and participate in activities that would promote film training and the involvement of believers in production or broadcasting work. This article analyzes the performance, in this area, of Spanish Catholicism in a historical period defined by the Spanish postwar period and the survival of the Franco regime, during which - and with the experience of the civil war - the Church considered a pastoral reconquest, which encompassed many areas and instruments, including cinema. This project was integrated into a broader one: creating an alternative exterior image of Franco's regime from 1945.
