Riassunto:The book explores António Ferro’s pivotal role in shaping the cultural policy of Portugal’s Estado Novo regime, focusing on his leadership of the National Propaganda Secretariat (SPN) and later the National Information Secretariat (SNI). Ferro aimed to merge aesthetic modernism with Salazarist propaganda, promoting cinema as a tool for national exaltation, moral education, and identity construction. Through his “Policy of the Spirit,” he supported historical films, documentaries, and initiatives like Mobile Cinema and the Jornal Português, though he faced structural limitations, censorship, and internal opposition. His cultural vision, caught between artistic innovation and ideological indoctrination, proved contradictory, and after his departure in 1949, the Secretariat lost its aesthetic vitality, becoming a more conservative political body. Ferro’s legacy is complex: he was a disruptive figure who sought to modernize Portuguese culture within an authoritarian regime, leaving a profound yet controversial imprint on the nation’s cinematic history.
