    Introduction to Neorealism: Yesterday, Today Starts Wednesday 12 October 2011 18.30 – 20.30 8 weeks Italian Neorealism was undoubtedly one of the most revolutionary cinematic styles of the twentieth century, and despite being borne out of the ruins of the aftermath of World War II, Neorealism has continued to influence contemporary film directors, both within Italy and in the international film industry. This course will look at the distinguishing features which made Neorealism such a unique phenomenon and course participants will trace these features in contemporary films in order to explore the notion of a reinvigorated neo- neorealism. Beginner’s level - no prior knowledge necessary. Course tutor: Adalgisa Serio, freelance lecturer and writer, also working for the Open University and CDLCI. Week 1 Introduction – Roma Citta` Aperta (Rome, Open City) The Annexe Wed 12 Oct 18:30 – 20:30 We start by trying to illustrate the main features which characterise and define Neorealism using the most significant films as illustrative examples – from Bicycle Thieves (Ladri di Biciclette) by Vittorio De Sica, to The Earth will Tremble (La terra Trema) by Luchino Visconti. We will then concentrate to analyse Rossellini’s masterpiece “Roma Citta` Aperta” (1945), considered by most critics as the cinematic manifesto of Neorealism. Week 2 Roma Citta` Aperta (Rome, Open City) The Annexe Wed 19 Oct 18:30 – 20:30 Continue from week 1 Week 3 Screening: Paisà (Paisan) Cinema Wed 26 Oct 18:10 Dir Roberto Rossellini / IT 1946/ 120 mins Carmela Sazio, Gar Moore, William Tubbs, Robert Van Loon Part of Rossellini’s War trilogy, the film, for the content and cinematic choices, is one of the most powerful examples of Neorealism.

    HK Neo Cine A monthly magazine about everything cinema related November 2013, Issue 1 HK Neo Cine HKAFF: The White Storm 掃毒 (2013) – Hong Kong Review by: Andrew Chan FCCA AACTA FIPRESCI Review Date: 28th October 2013 Directed by: Benny Chan Produced by: Benny Chan Starring: Louis Koo, Lau Ching Wan, Nick Cheung, Lo Hoi Pang Reviewed at the World Premiere at 10th Hong Kong Asian Film Festival 2013 After the disappointing and over hyped action / thriller blockbuster, “Cold War”, the makers behind “The White Storm” decided to make a lesser publicity storm, instead letting the quality of the film to tell a thousand words. Director Benny Chan managed to pull of the impossible, while Nick Cheung continues to show why he is one of the best versatile actors in Hong Kong, along with the ever dependable Lau Ching Wan and the ever improving Louis Koo. The film can easily be over hyped; instead, Chan manages to deliver on nearly all levels and even exceeding expectations. The result is a hugely entertaining, highly commercial, extremely saleable, thoroughly plotted and hugely satisfying movie event of the year. Let’s make a bold statement, if “Cold War” won Best Film last year, then expect “The White Storm” to storm the awards. At the end of the day, a good film is all we ask for and The White Storm provides everyone in Hong Kong for something to cheer about. Lau Ching Wan amply carries the film with perhaps the most interesting character of the lot. In the scene on the cliff when Lau has to make a choice between his two lifelong brothers, the look and stress on his face shows a man who clearly knows what he is doing.
