Objetivo was a Spanish film magazine published between 1953 and 1956. The magazine was based in Madrid, Spain. It was one of the significant publications, which contributed to the struggle for censorship-free cinema in Spain during the Francoist regime.[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]

History and profile

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] The founders were Luis Garcia Berlanga and Juan Antonio Bardem.[4] They were both influenced from Italian neorealism.[4] The financier of the magazine was José Ángel Ezcurra, who owned the cultural and political magazine, Triunfo.[1]

Objetivo did not conform to Franco's cultural politics.[6] The magazine adopted a social realist approach, which was concerned to the highest ideal of cinema.[2] It mostly featured articles about Italian neorealism.[6] It did not covered Hollywood films, but contained articles on independent American films.[2] Eduardo Ducay published film critics in Objetivo.[7] The other significant contributors included Ricardo Muñoz Suay and Paulino Garagorri.[2] The magazine folded in 1956 after publishing just nine issues[6] due to the crackdown of the regime.[2][7]
