  • Luis Buñuel’s clear affiliation to the Surrealist movement is typically contrasted with his collaboration with the Filmófono production company during 1935 and 1936. Filmófono, presided over by Ricardo Urgoiti, one of the most active men in the cultural sector, was geared toward popular tastes.

    However, this apparent inconsistency was, in reality, a curious synthesis of extraneous aesthetic influences applied within the context of industrial Spanish filmmaking. The relationship between Buñuel and Urgoiti is one of the most fascinating of the period, which the many letters they exchanged testify. This study examines the reasons for their collaboration, and abstract clarifies the subsequent professional careers of both men.
