¿Por qué morir en Madrid?

Un cinéma sous influence
We had to wait until the Spanish “Movida” of the 1980s to see films that did not emanate from Francoist propaganda. But Spain had already experienced a period of cinematic splendor, during the civil war, when the film studios were under the control of the Republicans. By describing the "competition" between Republican and Francoist cinemas of the time, Richard Prost provides a unique vision of the Spanish Civil War.

During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the Second World War (1939-1945), around three thousand people managed to elude their pursuers, and probably also avoided being killed, thanks to the heroic and very efficient efforts of the Ponzán Team, a brave group of people — mountain guides, forgers, safe house keepers and many others —, led by Francisco Ponzán Vidal, who managed to save their lives, both on one side and the other of the border between Spain and France.

Franco on Trial: The Spanish Nuremberg?
Franco on Trial is the new film by Dietmar Post and Lucía Palacios. After the success of Franco's Settlers, their first encounter with Franco's dictatorship, they are now setting their sights on one of the darkest chapters of European history: the presumed organized extermination that took place during the coup, the war, and the subsequent dictatorship led by Franco, as well as Argentina's current effort, by invoking the principle of universal jurisdiction, to prosecute Francoists accused of committing crimes against humanity. The film is also a sore reminder of an issue that still stands today: the clear-cut accountability held by Germany, Italy, and Portugal. The film accomplishes to give both sides a voice - those against whom the killing has been directed; and the side of the perpetrators.
