The project has involved the collaboration of Filmoteca de Catalunya, Filmoteca Española and Movierecord, as well as a number of companies and organisations.

Some of the least known and most fascinating films in this cycle are: Garbancito de la Mancha (Arturo Moreno, 1945), the first feature-length animated film made in colour in Europe; black-and-white advertisements from the 30s by Catalan cartoonists such as Serra i Massana and Ferran; La Edad de Piedra (Gabriel Blanco, 1965), with cartoons by Chumy Chúmez; the commercials of the Moro and Estela studios; and a short film made by Frederic Amat for the occasion.
