Abstract
During the fifteen-year conflict in Asia (1931-1945), the Japanese industry of newsreels experienced ad extraordinary growth, prompted by the incidents in China in the thirties and by the propaganda needs particularly from 1940, when all news films were fused in Nippon News. The images on Asia seen in Spanish cinemas had been originated in the Japanese newsreels, at least until the last stage of the Pacific War. To a great extent, they reached Spain as versions of Nazi Germany’s newsreel Auslandstonwoche, but there were also other sources. This article seeks to cast light on the impact that the Japanese newsreel industry had on Spain, tracing how these images circulated and determine how they conditioned the local reception of the events in Asia.
