SUMMARY
This article analyzes the debate about the film censorship in Chile in the 1960s. We seek to recognize the main positions of the debate through the reconstruction of the political, cultural and aesthetic speech given by several actors in the written press. It is proposed that the main points in dispute were circumstantial –like the suitability of the censors or the criteria of their film revision– rather than structural, since until the middle of the decade lasted the traditional consensus that justified the existence of the Film Censorship Board. By the end of the decade, more frontal questions were set out in defense of freedom of speech, related to structural changes in culture (familiarization with eroticism), politics (the rise of the left-wing) and economy (new distribution scheme).
