  • Un Secolo Di Cinema Firmato Bava – 2003
    UN SECOLO DI CINEMA FIRMATO BAVA di Renato Venturelli La leggenda dei Bava, al cinema, dura ormai da quasi un secolo. Di padre in figlio, di figlio in nipote, è già arrivata alla quarta generazione: prima Eugenio (Francesco) Bava, eccentrica figura di inventore e mago degli effetti speciali fin dagli anni della Belle Epoque poi Mario, geniale direttore della fotografia e regista, oggetto di culto in tutto il mondo; quindi Lamberto, che cominciò lavorando al fianco del padre negli anni Sessanta diventando poi autore cinematografico e televisivo. E adesso Roy, che ha iniziato da qualche anno la sua carriera. Tutto era cominciato all’inizio del Novecento, quando nonno Eugenio (1886-1966) ricevette il primo incarico da parte del cinema: la costruzione di un caminetto per un film Pathé. All’epoca, aveva appena compiuto vent’anni, essendo nato a Sanremo nel 1886, e secondo il figlio Mario era il prototipo dell’artista bohémien. «Cravatta e fiocco rivoluzionario, basco alla Raffaello) era un artista - disse in un famoso intervento del 1976- era pittore, scultore,fotografo, chimico, elettricista, medium, inventore; perse anni a studiare il moto perpetuo. Verso il 1908 per una succosa storia, purtroppo troppo lunga da raccontare, conobbe il cinema. Si “incimiciò”, dette un calcio al passato, e si gettò a capofitto nella Nuova Arte, diventando operatore: all’epoca non si diceva direttore della fotografia.. «E non si chiamava nemmeno Eugenio — aggiunge Lamberto— ma Francesco: è il nome scritto anche sulla sua tomba». Negli anni Dieci, il capostipite dei Bava lavorò nella sua città, fondando anche la “San Remo Film”, poi passò all’Ambrosio di Torino, quindi si stabilì a Roma, responsabile del Reparto Animazione e Trucchi dell’istituto Luce, escogitando trucchi ed effetti speciali fin quasi alla morte, avvenuta nel 1966,quando aveva ottant’anni.

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] Gender, Genre and Sociocultural Change in the Giallo: 1970-1975 Michael Mackenzie MA, MLitt Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies School of Culture and Creative Arts University of Glasgow August 2013 2 Abstract This thesis examines representations of gender in the Italian giallo, a short-lived but tremendously popular, lucrative and prolific body of films in the murder-mystery thriller tradition that enjoyed their heyday in the early-to-mid 1970s. Traditionally, both academic and populist responses to these films have focused on the output of a small number of maverick directors that have been elevated critically above their peers. Conversely, this thesis aligns itself with a more recent trend towards eschewing auteurist readings in favour of examining the giallo as a broad ‘filone’ (cycle) defined by shared iconography, narrative conventions and underlying anxieties.

En effet, il serait impensable dans le cadre d'un dossier comme celui-ci de parler de tous les réalisateurs qui ont oeuvré dans le genre depuis les débuts du cinéma. Par conséquent, la majorité des cinéastes inclus dans cette sélection ont œuvré durant les 25 dernières années. Durant le processus de sélection, certains cinéastes se sont imposés d'emblée (Carpenter, Craven, Hooper, Argento, De Palma), tandis que d'autres ont été retenus pour des raisons spécifiques (quantité des oeuvres produites dans le genre, qualité exceptionnelle d'un film en particulier, signature d'une oeuvre ayant exercé une grande influence, etc.).
