Abstract

In this paper we analyze the forms assumed relations between the State and local film field agents, since the birth of the film industry in 1933 until 1944 when arrived the General Direction of Publics Entertainments under President Edelmiro Farell. This first stage of the relationship between cinema and the state revolves around the management of the Argentine Film Institute, its director, Carlos Pessano, and its Chairman, Senator Matías Sánchez Sorondo. The article explores the ideas that they expressed in relation to cinema and how they tried to implement them. These are the years in which it is proposed the first law of protection and state control that would govern the sector. While the Institute’s management did not affect substantially the performance of the cinema field, the ideas that circulated promoted public discussion about the place that the actors in the cinema field expected to have against the regulatory action of the State.
