New Spanish Cinema

• New Spanish CInema
• Art House Cinema                                                                                  Viewed as though it felt it was above popular cinema, was more of an art-form like “painting”
• Auteur Cinema, muh the same as french new wave cinema in the ways that the directors gave their own personal stamp and ownership to the films
• International or foreign inclinations
• Conflictive relationship with the Spanish government, the films were very anti-facist
• Hauntology, contained many popular ideas and motifs that 'haunted' spanish culture, myths, events from the past
• The cinema made use of non conventional non-diegetic sound, Shock cuts and violent scenes, realist strategies
• The films aimed to be politically engaging and deeply troubling for the audience viewing the film
