Two key figures of the Italian cinematic tradition, Olmi and Pasolini have joined efforts on two occasions, as the Bergamasque director asked Pasolini to provide a commentary for his short films Manon finestra 2 (1956) and Grigio (1957). Two very different products, the two shorts offer a very compelling take on the process of industrialisation taking place in Italy in the 1950s. While Manon presents a slightly more positive view of the transition that Italy has undergone, Grigio is unequivocal in its condemnation, putting forward an alarming thesis: in order for this new society to exist, differences must be erased, com- munities are to disappear and the least advantaged will be left behind. However, this proposition also has a more optimistic counterpart; namely, the idea that these very communities remain the roots and the true point of reference of our civilisation.

  • Milan and the Memory of Piazza Fontana Elena Caoduro Terrorism
    Performing Reconciliation: Milan and the Memory of Piazza Fontana Elena Caoduro Terrorism was arguably the greatest challenge faced by Western Europe in the 1970s with the whole continent shaken by old resentments which turned into violent revolt: Corsican separatists in France, German speaking minorities in Italy’s South Tyrol, and Flemish nationalists in Belgium. Throughout that decade more problematic situations escalated in the Basque Provinces and Northern Ireland, where ETA and the Provisional IRA, as well as the Loyalist paramilitary groups (such as the UVF, and UDA) participated in long armed campaigns. According to Tony Judt, two countries in particular, West Germany and Italy, witnessed a different violent wave, as the radical ideas of 1968 did not harmlessly dissipate, but turned into a ‘psychosis of self- justifying aggression’ (2007, p. 469). In Italy, the period between 1969 and 1983, where political terrorism reached its most violent peak, is often defined as anni di piombo, ‘the years of lead’. This idiomatic expression derives from the Italian title given to Margarethe Von Trotta’s Die bleierne Zeit (1981, W. Ger, 106 mins.), also known in the UK as The German Sisters and in the USA as Marianne and Juliane.1 Following the film’s Golden Lion award at the 1981 Venice Film Festival, the catchy phrase ‘years of lead’ entered common language, and is now accepted as a unifying term for the various terrorist phenomena occurred in the long 1970s, both in Italy and West Germany. By the mid 1980s, however, terrorism had begun to decline in Italy. Although isolated episodes of left-wing violence continued to occur – two governmental consultants were murdered in 1999 and in 2002 respectively – special laws and the reorganisation of anti-terrorist police forces enabled its eradication, as did the 1 collaboration of many former radical militants.

  • I Cento Passi (The Hundred Steps, 2000) Is Giordana's Biopic About Giuseppe 'Peppino' Impastato, a Leftist Anti-Mafia Activist Murdered in Sicily in 1978
    33 Marco Tullio Giordana' s The Hundred Steps: The Biopic as Political Cinema GEORGE DE STEFANO During the 1980s, the political engagement that fuelled much of Italy's postwar realist cinema nearly vanished, a casualty of both the domin­ ance of television and the decline of the political Left. The generation of great postwar auteurs - Roberto Rossellini, Vittorio De Sica, Federico Fellini, and Pier Paolo Pasolini - had disappeared. Their departure, notes Millicent Marcus, was followed by 'the waning of the ideological and generic impulses that fueled the revolutionary achievement of their successors: Rosi, Petri, Bertolucci, Bellocchio, Ferreri, the Tavianis, Wertmuller, Cavani, and Scola.' 1 The decline of political cinema was inextricable from the declining fortunes of the Left following the vio­ lent extremism of the 1970s, the so-called leaden years and, a decade later, the fall of Communism. The waning of engage cinema continued throughout the 1990s, with a few exceptions. But as the twentieth cen­ tury drew to a close, the director Marco Tullio Giordana made a film that represented a return to the tradition of political commitment. I cento passi (The Hundred Steps, 2000) is Giordana's biopic about Giuseppe 'Peppino' Impastato, a leftist anti-Mafia activist murdered in Sicily in 1978. The film was critically acclaimed, winning the best script award at the Venice Film Festival and acting awards for two of its stars. It was a box office success in Italy, with its popularity extending beyond the movie theatres. Giordana's film, screened in schools and civic as­ sociations throughout Sicily, became a consciousness-raising tool for anti-Mafia forces, as well as a memorial to a fallen leader of the anti­ Mafia struggle.

  • Ermanno Olmi
    ERMANNO OLMI Ermanno Olmi nasce a Bergamo il 24 luglio 1931. Il padre è ferroviere e nel 1933 la famiglia si trasferisce a Milano. Trascorre l’infanzia tra il mondo operaio della periferia milanese e quello contadino, a Treviglio, nella campagna bergamasca. Alla fine della guerra, viene assunto come impiegato alla Edison dove nel 1951 organizza un servizio cinematografico che documenta le grandi imprese di costruzioni idroelettriche. Negli anni successivi realizza una quarantina di documentari, tra i quali La diga del ghiacciaio, Pattuglia di Passo San Giacomo, Tre fili fino a Milano, Michelino 1aB (con il testo di Goffredo Parise), Manon finestra 2 e Grigio (con il testo di Pier Paolo Pasolini). Il primo film lungometraggio è del 1959, Il tempo si è fermato: racconta l’amicizia tra un ragazzo di città e l’anziano guardiano di una diga nell’alta valle dell’Adamello. Nel 1961, al Festival di Venezia, vince il premio OCIC e quello della Critica con il film Il posto (che ottiene numerosi premi anche in festival internazionali): si raccontano le aspirazioni e le difficoltà di due ragazzi di Milano alle prese con il loro primo impiego. Seguono altri film sul mondo del lavoro: I fidanzati, sulla industrializzazione del Sud da parte delle grandi imprese del Nord, dove si avvertono i primi disagi di una società trasformata troppo velocemente dal boom economico. E così in altri due film successivi: Un certo giorno del 1968 e La circostanza del 1974. Al di fuori del tema del lavoro, nel 1965 dedica, in omaggio alla figura di papa Giovanni XXIII, E venne un uomo, con Rod Steiger e Adolfo Celi.

  • The Tree of Wooden Clogs
    MANCHESTER AND SALFORD FILM SOCIETY The Tree of Wooden Clogs Italy 1978 Directed by Ermanno Olmi Ermanno Olmi is a director who has raised the moral bar for contemporary Italian cinema. The sacredness of life, the dignity of work, and the human yearning for contact with God are themes that deeply colour his work, but nowhere so movingly as in The Tree of Wooden Clogs, which has a vibrant realism that makes the audience feel that they are shoulder to shoulder with its protagonists, the dirt-poor northern Italian share-croppers whose deep, abiding faith is extraordinarily moving. Written and directed with inspired simplicity, the story of four peasant-families who live and work on one tenant farm in late 19th-century Lombardy offers almost documentary glimpses into a long-gone way of life. With their rough, ruddy faces, the farmers have a look of callus-handed realism that we recognise out of period paintings. No nostalgia here: there is joy and beauty in their lives, and even some homey humour, but above all there is bitter poverty and exploitation. The peasants, whom we get to know intimately over the course of three hours, labour for a landlord who owns the fields they till, the dwellings where they raise their families, their stables and horses and even the trees lining the road. Born in the Lombard province of Bergamo to a working-class family with deep Catholic roots, Olmi has almost always made work that is grounded in a strong sense of the place he comes from. He understood the importance of this project, spending years writing and developing it, and insisted on the use of the authentic regional accent of the Bergamasque, which requires subtitles even for Italians.

  • A Cinematic Grand Tour of Sicily: Irony, Memory, and Metamorphic Desire from Goethe to Tornatore
    A Cinematic Grand Tour of Sicily: Irony, Memory, and Metamorphic Desire from Goethe to Tornatore Gaetana Marrone I also feel a strong urge of the memory of a Mediterranean culture, of a classical culture as the matrix of Western culture. Hence, my need to rediscover in these tall and deep roots the essence of our spirit before all of this is erased, before it all disappears. — Vincenzo Consolo 1 A palimpsest of multiple cultures – ancient Greek and Roman, Phoenician, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, Spanish, and “Italian” – Sicily is rich and poor, a crossroads of civilizations, and a provincial backwater, traditional and yet, from time to time and in particular milieus, modernist. Deep and enduring class distinctions add yet another layer to the complexity of the Sicilian experience. To many who find the burdens of this culture oppressive and hard to bear, the only viable solution is to leave the island. But expatriation does not untie the tangled knots of history; memories of home haunt the exile in the midst of newfound freedoms and opportunities. For Sicilian writers and artists, the strains of modernity and tradition, emancipation and destiny, longing to escape and loyalty to family, community, and history have been a central artistic theme. The peculiar conditions of their eccentric and often backward, yet historically and culturally pivotal homeland have enabled them to express the common experience of modernity with special poignancy. Certainly Vincenzo Consolo has portrayed the people of his exasperated and tragic island in such a way that human beings around the globe can identify with their search for selfhood: in his work, Sicily becomes an image for a magnificent past and for the missed opportunities, both individual and collective, of the present.
