Objetivo was a Spanish film magazine published between 1953 and 1956. The magazine was based in Madrid, Spain. It was one of the significant publications, which contributed to the struggle for censorship-free cinema in Spain during the Francoist regime. Spanish author Marvin D'Lugo argues that the magazine was very influential during its lifetime despite its short existence and lower levels of circulation.
Objetivo was founded in 1953. Based in Madrid, the first issue of the magazine appeared in July 1953.Objetivo was modeled on Italian film magazine Cinema Nuovo. The founders were Luis Garcia Berlanga and Juan Antonio Bardem. They were both influenced from Italian neorealism. The financier of the magazine was José Ángel Ezcurra, who owned the cultural and political magazine, Triunfo.
Objetivo did not conform to Franco's cultural politics. The magazine adopted a social realist approach, which was concerned to the highest ideal of cinema. It mostly featured articles about Italian neorealism. It did not covered Hollywood films, but contained articles on independent American films. Eduardo Ducay published film critics in Objetivo. The other significant contributors included Ricardo Muñoz Suay and Paulino Garagorri. The magazine folded in 1956 after publishing just nine issues due to the crackdown of the regime.
