The golden age of mexican cinema was an historic and unique time during which creative and social conditions supported the works of the moment. Therefore these works had a great impact in the collective subconscious not only of mexicans, but of all latin americans.
After World War II, mexican cinema entered the international markets with great force in part thanks to the collapse of the american film industry in producing documentaries and films that motivated the patriotic sensibility in face of the belic conflict.
These circumstances supported the emergence of a new generation of directors such as Emilio Fernández, Julio Bracho, Roberto Gavaldón and Ismael Rodríguez. It also helped the uprise of important actors such as María Félix, Mario Moreno “Cantinflas”, Pedro Armendariz, Andrea Palma, Jorge Negrete, Joaquín Pardavé and many others. |

| THE MUSIC
During those years, mexican cinema covered more themes and genres than at any other time (musical comedies, melodramas, epics, etc.). Not only images built the great mexican cinema frescos of the pre and post war era, the music also played an important role in the development of the arts. Composers such as Manuel Esperón, Agustín Lara, Antonio Díaz Conde and Dámaso Pérez Prado, filled spectator's lifes with sounds and words that turned the songs into fundamental plots.
