A restrospective of films from the 1950s to the early 21st century dealing with the troubled representation of the Spanish Civil War and the postwar "iron years". The seminar will analyze the distortion of the past through both censorship and individual recollection under conditions of personal and collective trauma, while exploring the relation between history and film. We will also discuss the ways in which objective images can be used to explore subjectivity. Outstanding films by Luis Garc¿a Berlanga, Luis Bu¿uel, Carlos Saura, V¿ctor Erice, Pilar Mir¿, Julio Medem, Pedro Almod¿var, Guillermo del Toro, Agust¿ Villaronga and Alejandro Amen¿bar. Spanish comprehension is necessary for the required class films.
