Objetivo was a film magazine published between 1953 and 1955 in Madrid, Spain. The magazine was one of the significant publications, which contributed to the struggle for a censorship-free cinema in Francoist Spain. [1] Spanish author Marvin D'Lugo argues that the magazine was very influential during its lifetime despite its short existence and lower levels of circulation. [2]
Objetivo was founded in 1953. [3] [4] Based in Madrid, the first issue of the magazine appeared in July 1953. [5] Objetivo was modeled on Italian film magazine Cinema Nuovo. [2] [6] The founders were Luis Garcia Berlanga and Juan Antonio Bardem. [4] They were both influenced from Italian neorealism. [4] The financier of the magazine which was linked to the illegal Communist Party [5] was José Ángel Ezcurra, who owned a cultural and political magazine entitled Triunfo. [1]
Objetivo did not conform to Franco's cultural politics. [7] The magazine adopted a social realist approach, which was concerned with the highest ideal of cinema. [2] It mostly featured articles about the Italian neorealism. [7] [8] It did not covered Hollywood films, but contained articles on independent American films. [2] Eduardo Ducay published film critics in Objetivo. [9] The other significant contributors included Ricardo Muñoz Suay and Paulino Garagorri. [2] The magazine folded after the publication of the September-October 1955 issue [6] due to the crackdown of the Francoist State. [2] [9] Most of its contributors were arrested following the closure of the magazine. [6] During its lifetime Objetivo produced just nine issues. [7]
