"Portuguese Film, 1930-1960: The Staging of the New State Regime provides groundbreaking
analysis of Portuguese feature films produced in the first three decades of the New
State (Estado Novo), a right-wing totalitarian regime that lasted between 1933 and
1974. These films, sponsored by the National Propaganda Institute (Secretariado Nacional
de Propaganda), convey a conservative image of both mainland Portugal and the country's
overseas African colonies (Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau and St. Thomas
and Principe). The films about the mainland emphasize traditional values, the importance
of obedience to authorities and a strict division of gender roles, whereby women are
relegated to the domestic sphere. The Portuguese countryside, where age-old customs
and a strong social hierarchy prevailed, is presented in these movies as a model for
the rest of the country. The films about the colonies, in turn, underline the benefits
of the Portuguese presence in Africa and portray the colonized as docile subjects
to Portuguese rule. The book includes chapter summaries in the introduction, in-depth
analyses of the most important Portuguese films produced between 1930 and 1960, a
discussion of the main topics of Portuguese cinema from the New State, and a comprehensive
bibliography that guides students who wish to read further on a specific topic. First
published in Portuguese to wide acclaim, Portuguese Film, 1930-1960: The Staging of
the New State Regime fills a gap in English-language scholarship on the history of
the national cinema of the Iberian peninsula. Films covered include Fatima, Land of
Faith (Terra de Fe), Spell of the Empire (Feitico do Imperio), and Chaimite"
