Synopsis

When the Spanish Civil War began in July 1936, the anarchist union CNT socialized the film industry in Spain, leading film workers in Madrid and Barcelona to take over production assets. Between 1936 and 1938, numerous films on a wide range of topics were released, forming a varied mosaic that represents one of the most unusual and original periods in Spanish cinematography.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
