Although Spanish cinema is experiencing a unique moment, with diverse, different stories, and the incorporation of new perspectives into an industry that needed a shake-up, there are still genres that are pending accounts. Spanish cinema finds it difficult to approach, above all, science fiction, the fantastic and the medieval epic. It will not be for lack of legacy in the form of stories, oral histories or books. Even the history of Spain itself gives rise to films with great battles and palace intrigues. In Spain there is raw material to make our Gladiator or our Braveheartbut also to make our own The Lord of the rings, and one more anchored in our folklore and our own legends.
