Then, it critically reflects upon the attitude of the directors of the eight chosen titles (which were created between 1990 and 2019) towards the phenomenon of the civil war in Spain as well as analyses some aspects and circumstances of these pictures highlighted by their creators. Furthermore, the paper also reflects upon the transnational character of these productions as well as the transnational features of the conflict itself.
