During this period, some young filmmakers actively and consciously opposed the official films of fascism, and many of them had taught or studied in the "Film Experimental Center" in Rome. Because they have no chance to realize their ideas through actual shooting, they often publish articles on film theory and aesthetics in film magazines "Black and White" and "Film" to explain their views. These articles published from 1939 to 1942 laid the aesthetic principles of Italian new realistic films. Many of these young people later became famous directors, such as Visconti, L., Desentis Peak, G., G. Pusini, A. Peter Langelli, Lisani, C., antonioni, M.; Some became famous film art theory researchers, such as G. arista Ge and G. Wiejacz.
At the end of fascist rule, Italian filmmakers broke through various obstacles and made several films that predicted the birth of new realism: Four Steps in the Cloud (1942, directed by Bob Lasetti, A.), Watching Our Children (1943, directed by De Sica, V., screenwriter Zavattini, Cesare, C.). These films show the first signs of the revival of Italian films.
