Circulation of Japanese Newsreels on the War in Asia (1931-1945) in Spain

During the so-called ‘dark valley’, or the fifteen-year war in Asia (1931-1945), the Japanese industry of newsreels experienced extraordinary growth, particularly fostered by war in China from 1937. This paper examines the international circulation of the footage shot by Japanese operators about the conflict in Asia, particularly focusing on their distribution in Spanish cinemas. On the one hand, this research will cast light into the global phenomenon of migration of images in a moment in which cinema was becoming a modern propaganda weapon. On the other hand, this presentation will trace the journey of images from the creation of the puppet state of Manchukuo to the end of the Pacific War, and how they eventually reached Spain. It will also assess how these images were appropriated along the way, and how their Spanish interpretations of the events in Asia shifted according to the changing interests in Spain. --- Marcos Centeno-Martín (University of Valencia, Spain) speaks at The 6th Barcelona Conference on Arts, Media & Culture (BAMC2025) in Barcelona, Spain.
