  • Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851-1921) wrote two articles on film published in La Ilustración artística (1908), and La esfera cinematográfica (1920). These forgotten articles have been recently recovered and shed new light not only on the origins of the female gaze in film in Spain, but also illuminate how a naturalist sensibility of a literary sort is translated into the new art form. It is rewarding to discover her observations on the representation of a child’s world and its subsequent infantilizing effect on the audience; her insightful commentary on literary aspects in film; and her ultimate preference for documentary films which she considers the best example of beauty in the truth of things versus that which is pure artifice.
