Il saggio pone l’attenzione sul rapporto di Alba de Céspedes con il cinema durante il ventennio fascista. In questo periodo l’autrice scrive racconti cinematografici, si confronta con i principali esponenti della cinematografia italiana e cura una rubrica sulla rivista «Film». Attraverso l’uso di documenti poco noti e fonti inedite identificate in diversi luoghi di conservazione (scritture private, rassegne stampa, documenti d’archivio), questo contributo mira a ricostruire il caso ‘dimenticato’ di una letterata ‘prestata al cinema’.
