A timely study of Spanish cinema during the country's transition to democracy, including how popular and auteur films grappled with the authoritarian past.

Screening the Transition examines how Spanish cinema produced in the years immediately following Francisco Franco's death articulated--through its narratives and characterizations--the social and cultural challenges encountered during the country's transition to democracy. These films reflect emergent post-dictatorship realities, including increased openness toward sexuality and nudity; the erosion of traditional family structures; persistent attachments to, and reckonings with, the Francoist past; the development of political plurality and expanded freedom of expression; and various forms of marginalization, whether economic or based on gender and sexuality. In doing so, the analysis conceptualizes Spain's transition not solely in political terms, as is commonly the case, but as a profoundly personal and affective process.
