History and profile

Nuestro Cinema was founded by Juan Piqueras in 1932. [1] [2] In the first issue dated June 1932 [3] the magazine billed itself as the "best" professional film publication free from superficial and sentimental contents unlike other film publications. [4] It was affiliated with the Communist Party [4] and had a Marxist orientation. [5] From its start in June 1932 to March 1933 Nuestro Cinema came out monthly. [3]

Piqueras edited the magazine from his Paris home. [1] Nuestro Cinema was published in Barcelona, but its editorial office was based in Madrid. [1] Piqueras published many articles in the magazine on the history of Spanish cinema. [2] These writings would be later published as a book. [2] The magazine frequently featured theoretical and historical issues about cinema. [3] It exclusively focused on left-wing movies, including those produced in the Soviet Union. [3] Nuestro Cinema also covered political agitation through articles on strikes, land reform, and the proclamation of the Catalan Statute. [6] Major contributors of the magazine were Antonio del Amo Algara, Juan Manuel Plaza, Germaine Dulac, Léon Moussinac, René Clair, Joris Ivens and Béla Balázs. [3]

Nuestro Cinema temporarily ceased publication in October 1933 and was restarted in January 1935. [3] In the second period its communist approach was not very evident. [3] It permanently folded in February 1936 [3] because of financial problems and Juan Piqueras’s health problems. [7] The title of Nuestro Cine film magazine, which was started in 1961, was a reference to Nuestro Cinema. [7]
