Amaya (1952 film)

Amaya is a 1952 Spanish historical drama film directed by Luis Marquina and starring Susana Canales, Julio Peña and José Bódalo. The film's sets were designed by the art director Luis Pérez Espinosa.

An adaptation of Francisco Navarro Villosladas historical novel Amaya o los vascos en el siglo VIII, Marquina's version features a visceral judeophobia amplified from the original work, which pushes a conspiracy narrative attributing the "711 loss of Spain" to a Jewish plot. The film's antisemitic sentiment is strongly displayed in sequences such as those involving the uprising of the Pamplona's jewry, and the imprisoning of Basque Christians.
