The Directorate General of Cinematography and Theatre (Шаблон:Lang-es; DGCT) was a department of the Francoist dictatorship with the rank of directorate-general charged with the control of cinema and theatre in Spain, including the scope of censorship.

History

The body was created in 1946, by means of the development of a decree from 31 December 1945. The DGCT was originally attached to the Undersecretariat of Popular Education of the Шаблон:Ill. Gabriel García Espina was the first leader of the new directorate general.Шаблон:Sfnm

In the wake of the administrative restructuring of 1951, several areas were removed from the ministerial department of National Education, as the aptitude of incoming minister Joaquín Ruiz-Giménez as censor was put into question. These areas (including the DGCT) were thus transferred to the newly-born Ministry of Information and Tourism, led by Gabriel Arias Salgado.Шаблон:Sfn

From 1962 onward—a period of purported "openness" during the second spell at the helm of the DGCT of Шаблон:Ill—the DGCT promoted and sponsored what it came to be known as "New Spanish Cinema", even though filmmakers were not fully exempt from censorship.Шаблон:Sfn

The DGCT disappeared in late 1967, when it was demoted to the rank of under-directorate reportedly because of budget cuts and was subsumed within the new Directorate General of Popular Culture and Spectacles, led by Carlos Robles Piquer.[1]
