Through the analysis of the censorship of Catembe, I intend to show how the Portuguese dictatorship sought to fully control the cinematographic projection of colonialism, considered, after the beginning of the colonial war in 1961, a mainstay of the regime and an essential condition of Portugal and of an idea about the "Portuguese way of being in the world". I contextualize the emergence of censorship after the May Revolution of 1926, characterizing its application to cinema and particularizing how it was instrumentalized by the "Politics of the Spirit". I then identify the main guidelines on the basis of which the censors exercised their function and describe the importance of cinema to project the nation and an idea of Portugueseness that established that it was their purpose to possess colonies as a historical right. Finally, I summarize the changes in the colonial model before going deeper into the case study under analysis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
