Abstract

Ramón Gómez de la Serna wrote ten short film screenplays, published in the magazine La Revue du Cinéma in 1930 under the title of Chiffres, which were also adapted from texts by this same author. Although at first they were thought to be filmed by Luis Buñuel in the movie which was going to be his debut as director, these screenplays were never used by this film-maker. Because of the interest that this text arouses and because it allows to understand in a better way how the writer conceived the cinema, this article tries to determine the origin of this project, how the author adapted his owns stories to a filmic format and which are the main film features that these screenplays show.
