Landscapes of the Crisis in Iberian Cinemas. Introduction

Abstract

This dossier compiles studies on the cinematic production of Spain—and, to a lesser extent, Portugal—that deal with the conditions created by the economic crisis and the resulting austerity measures in both countries. In addition to a comprehensive study that offers a typology of the abundant filmography on the subject, the dossier is made up of four articles centered on case studies of feature-length and short films both fictional and documentary.
