Published by Cuba's Instituto Cubano del Arte e Industria Cinematográficos (ICAIC), this special twentieth anniversary issue spans 1981-1983 and reflects Cuban cinema's maturation during a period of international cultural exchange. Under director Alfredo Guevara's guidance, the magazine expanded its scope to include ideological critique of comics in Latin America, pedagogical reactions to Disney, analysis of underdevelopment themes in film, and examinations of animated cinema's portrayal of indigenous, Black, and Latin American subjects. The issue includes substantial coverage of Tarzan films, Popeye analysis, North American penetration in children's entertainment, and responses to Chilean cinema publication "Primer Plano."

This comprehensive issue demonstrates Cuban cultural criticism's sophisticated approach to visual media analysis during the 1980s. Articles examine "Solaris" within science fiction cinema contexts, lunar voyage films, and provide detailed filmographies for major directors. The editorial offices at Calle 23 no. 1155, Habana, Cuba, and subscription information ($0.25 per issue in Cuba, $0.75 annual in Cuba, $3.00 international) reflect the magazine's commitment to accessibility while maintaining high production standards. The collaboration with layout designer Holbein and cover artist Reboiro exemplifies Cuban cultural institutions' integration of visual and textual criticism in service of revolutionary cultural development.
