The Cineguf and the Memory of Fascism (1944-1976) wants to get deeper into the complex metabolisation of
the traces of the fascist past, for some of the protagonists of the Cineguf era. The article discusses the way
some Cineguf members elaborated upon their own experience into the Cineguf groups - a fascist association
of amateur film clubs - and how the social and generational developments regarding the film culture
impacted onto this cultural and political metabolisation, in post-war Italy. The article proposes to question
the various forms of “silence” that characterizes the archival survival of the films produced by the Cineguf
and the narratives of the history of the Cineguf as well.
