The selected films will be discussed in class through an extensive historical analysis and a critical approach in order to understand the contribution of Italian cinema to the development of world cinema and the role of cinema in shaping of Italian society and culture. Students will visit the locations used to shoot the movies analyzed in class in order to understand how they were filmed and to learn the specific elements of film language and film techniques utilized by the different directors. CREDITS: 3 CONTACT HOURS: 45 LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION: English PREREQUISITES: None METHOD OF PRESENTATION: Lectures, screenings, individual or group film watching at IES multimedia lab after class, course- related trips, use of multimedia and Internet resources for research purposes, film analysis and class debates on main Italian film directors and their work.

  • Neorealism and Magic Realism in Cinema
    Neorealism and Magic Realism in Cinema Italian Neorealism is one of the most influential, visually distinctive and thematically challenging wave in the history of cinema. The worldwide turmoil that shaped the neorealistsʼ visions then, can be traced in every aspect of the films produced during the very short time neorealism went on. The revolutionary changes and possibilities this wave emerged led other genres and waves to be born, like French New Wave. This course aims to focus on the Italian Neorealism, the thematic and stylistic aspects of the wave by analysing the films of the most significant directors of the time. Once the roots of the Neorealism is fully established and the means and ways are absorbed, the course will shift to discover the magic realism that replaced realism in the European cinema of 1950s. The course will get to the root of the magical realism and similar tendencies in the cinema and the literature that procreated the magic realism definition in the first place. The course will also feed from Surrealism and Psychological Realism. During the semester, substantial works of literature and painting will be visited in order to get a broader understanding of different approaches of realism. Course Requirements: The course will be carried out with a series of discussions every week and to participate to the discussions in class, every student must watch the film (or films) of the week. Being a participator in the class is the most important requirement of the course. :::Attention::: • The course starts on the first week, and although the first two weeks are ʻadd-dropʼ weeks, if you miss a class even in the beginning of the course, please drop the course, or donʼt take it in the first place.

  • Pavia Corpus of Film Dialogue
    PAVIA CORPUS OF FILM DIALOGUE The Pavia Corpus of Film Dialogue (PCFD) is a parallel and comparable corpus made up of original Italian films and original English films together with their dubbed Italian translations. The corpus was created at University of Pavia where it has been developed since 2005 to investigate translated and non-translated audiovisual dialogues on their own, in parallel and contrastively. MAIN AIMS OF THE CORPUS The PCFD has been conceived as a flexible tool for analysing and comparing film language and audiovisual translation, with a focus on the English-Italian language pair. The corpus allows the pursuit of several objectives. Moving from a target- language orientation to dubbing, a systematic study can be carried out of linguistic, sociolinguistic, pragmatic and translational phenomena to ultimately delineate a profile of contemporary dubbed Italian. The component of the Anglophone original dialogue can also be inspected independently of its dubbed counterpart to look for conversational features and uncover their specific functions. The comparable component comprising original Italian productions makes it possible to draw comparisons between dubbed and original Italian films and between English and original Italian films. As the films included in the corpus cover a time span of almost 30 years (from 1990 to 2017), the PCFD is also suitable for short-term diachronic studies. Finally, the corpus can be exploited for language learning purposes. DESIGN AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CORPUS The PCFD has been developed over three main phases and is conceived as a monitor/open corpus to be expanded over time with the addition of other films.

  • 1 Revisiting the Past As a Means of Validation: Bridging the Myth of The
    1 Revisiting the Past as a Means of Validation: Bridging the Myth of the Resistance and the Satire of the Economic Miracle in Two Comedies “Italian style” Giacomo Boitani, National University of Ireland, Galway Abstract: Many commedia all’italiana filmmakers have acknowledged the neorealist mode of production as a source of inspiration for their practice of pursuing social criticism in realistic and satirical comedies between 1958 and 1977. The detractors of the genre, however, have accused the commedia filmmakers of “diluting” the neorealist engagement to a simple description of the habits of Italians during the Economic Miracle, a description which threatened to encourage, through the casting of popular stars, the cynical attitude it sought to satirise. In this article, I shall discuss how two commedia all’italiana directors, namely Dino Risi and Ettore Scola, produced two significant commedie, respectively Una vita difficile (1961) and C’eravamo tanto amati (1974), which bridged the Resistance setting, associated with neorealism, and the Economic Miracle setting of most commedie all’italiana in order to reaffirm their neorealist roots, thus revisiting the past as a response to the critical underestimation from which their cinematic practice suffered. Many filmmakers of the comedy “Italian style” genre (commedia all’italiana) have acknowledged Italian neorealism as a source of inspiration for their practice of pursuing social criticism in realistic and satirical comedies produced in the years between 1958 and 1977. For instance, comedy “Italian style” star Alberto Sordi said that of those involved in the genre that “our project was to reinvent neorealism and to take it in a satirical direction” (Giacovelli, Un italiano 110),1 while director Marco Ferreri stated that “the commedia is neorealism revisited and modified in order to make people go to the movies” (Giacovelli, Commedia 21).

  • Propuesta Para Taller De Análisis De Cine
    TALLER DE ANÁLISIS DE CINE CICLO 2017 - DICTADO ANUAL DICTANTE: Prof. Gisela Mattioni Gisela Mattioni es profesora en Letras egresada de la UNR. Ha asistido a numerosos seminarios y cursos de cine. Ha expuesto los resultados de sus investigaciones en diversos congresos y cuenta con variadas publicaciones. Actualmente dicta cursos de literatura y también de cine en la Universidad Abierta para Adultos Mayores, dependiente de la UNR. MODALIDAD DE DICTADO: Tres horas semanales (proyección de film y análisis) HORARIO: miércoles de 18 a 21hs FUNDAMENTACIÓN Este taller propone, además de la proyección de un film, su posterior análisis desde diversos puntos de vista (estético, semiótico e histórico), incentivando también el debate entre los asistentes. Sostenemos la importancia de la proyección compartida entre los asistentes al curso para facilitar el posterior trabajo sobre el material fílmico, propiciando el diálogo y la discusión a partir de los lineamientos teóricos que se brindarán en la clase posterior al visionado del film. Centraremos nuestro estudio en una selección de films de reconocidos directores de la historia del cine. Trabajaremos a partir del concepto de autor, potenciado históricamente a partir del grupo de cineastas y críticos que conformó la nouvelle vague francesa. Simultáneamente, tendremos en consideración al cine como arte colectivo. Analizaremos la impronta propia de cada autor, sin dejar de tener en cuenta los cambios y matices que existan en obras realizadas en diversos momentos históricos y en diferentes etapas en la producción de cada cineasta. OBJETIVOS Posibilitar el acercamiento del alumno a películas de directores clave de la historia del cine Analizar cada uno de los films que se verán en clase, en relación con la obra del director y la corriente estética en la que se inscribe en el momento de su producción.

  • Appendix 1: Selected Films
    Appendix 1: Selected Films The very random selection of films in this appendix may appear to be arbitrary, but it is an attempt to suggest, from a varied collection of titles not otherwise fully covered in this volume, that approaches to the treatment of sex in the cinema can represent a broad church indeed. Not all the films listed below are accomplished – and some are frankly maladroit – but they all have areas of interest in the ways in which they utilise some form of erotic expression. Barbarella (1968, directed by Roger Vadim) This French/Italian adaptation of the witty and transgressive science fiction comic strip embraces its own trash ethos with gusto, and creates an eccentric, utterly arti- ficial world for its foolhardy female astronaut, who Jane Fonda plays as basically a female Candide in space. The film is full of off- kilter sexuality, such as the evil Black Queen played by Anita Pallenberg as a predatory lesbian, while the opening scene features a space- suited figure stripping in zero gravity under the credits to reveal a naked Jane Fonda. Her peekaboo outfits in the film are cleverly designed, but belong firmly to the actress’s pre- feminist persona – although it might be argued that Barbarella herself, rather than being the sexual plaything for men one might imagine, in fact uses men to grant herself sexual gratification. The Blood Rose/La Rose Écorchée (aka Ravaged, 1970, directed by Claude Mulot) The delirious The Blood Rose was trumpeted as ‘The First Sex Horror Film Ever Made’. In its uncut European version, Claude Mulot’s film begins very much like an arthouse movie of the kind made by such directors as Alain Resnais: unortho- dox editing and tricks with time and the film’s chronology are used to destabilise the viewer.

  • The Road to the Cinephiles’ Heaven Recovered and Restored
    The Road to The Cinephiles’ Heaven Recovered and Restored Perhaps more so than in any other edition, the Recovered & Restored selection this year will comprise acclaimed masterpieces along with the forgotten, sublime and must-see films. From Night Games (Nattlek, 1966) by Swedish actress and director Mai Zetterling to Nightmare Alley (1947) by Edmund Goulding, a tumultu- ous tableau of ruin and defeat, which will soon be remade by Guillermo del Toro; from French- man’s Creek (1944) by Mitchell Leisen, a pi- rate film with a female lead and all the vibrancy of Technicolor, to the silent serial Belphégor (1927) by Henri Desfontaines; and the brilliant Watermelon Man (1970) by Melvin Van Pee- bles, in which a racist white insurance broker discovers one morning that his skin colour has changed. If you are looking for masterpieces by the greatest of masters now finally restored, there is no question that you need to be in Bo- logna this year for screenings of The Flowers of St. Francis (Francesco giullare di Dio, 1950) by Roberto Rossellini, The Lower Depths (Les Bas-fonds, 1936) by Jean Renoir and Vampyr (1932) by Carl Theodor Dreyer. And, how could we forget, a marvellous silent comedy with live music: Erotikon (Mauritz Stiller, 1920). Curated by Gian Luca Farinelli Romy, Life Lived and Fiction She made her debut in the tender colours of Austrian fairytales, alongside her mother Magda who had starred in Max Ophuls’s Liebelei and was a well-known mistress of Nazi officials. For several years she was Sissi, loved by audienc- es around the world and enjoying a resound- ing success that seemed to promise a future in purely commercial cinema.
