The 70th anniversary of the Spanish Revolution and Civil War
The year of homage to the victims of Francoism
Hi: our internet tv site is now up and running with four films made by the CNT between July 1936 and 1938:
- Report on the movement of 19th July 1936 (documentary)
- Victory in Teruel (Teruel ha caido!) (documentary)
- Solidarity with Madrid (documentary)
- Nosotros Somos Asi! (That's the way we are) (musical comedy)
A further six CNT-FAI films will be uploaded over the coming weeks, plus other more recent anarchist-related feature and documentary films.
Also on the site is Red Years, Black Years, a 10-minute prologue to a proposed 6 part documentary on the background to the Spanish Revolution and Civil War and the role of the anarchists and anarcho-syndicalists from the late 19th century through to the death of Franco in 1975.
We would also ask you to check out the Arts and Posters menu on the www.tvhastingschristiebooks.com site (posters of the CNT-FAI and the powerful black and white illustrations of Helios Gomez between 1925 and 1939.
