    ALL-CELLULOID HOMAGE TO A DIVA OF THE ITALIAN CINEMA Sept. 24, 2016 / Castro Theatre / San Francisco / CinemaItaliaSF.com ROMA CITTÀ APERTA (ROME OPEN CITY) Sat. September 24, 2016 1:00 PM 35mm Film Projection (100 mins. 1945. BW. Italy. In Italian, German, and Latin with English subtitles) Winner of the 1946 Festival de Cannes Grand Prize, Rome Open City was Roberto Rossel- lini’s revelation – a harrowing drama about the Nazi occupation of Rome and the brave few who struggled against it. Told with melodramatic flair and starring Aldo Fabrizi as a priest helping the partisan cause and Anna Magnani in her breakthrough role as Pina, the fiancée of a resistance member, Rome Open City is a shockingly authentic experi- ence, conceived and directed amid the ruin of World War II, with immediacy in every frame. Marking a watershed moment in Italian cinema, this galvanic work garnered awards around the globe and left the beginnings of a new film movement in its wake. Directed by Roberto Rossellini. Written by Sergio Amidei and Federico Fellini. Photo- graphed by Ubaldo Arata. Starring Anna Magnani and Aldo Fabrizi. Print Source: Istituto Luce-Cinecittá S.r.L. BELLISSIMA Sat. September 24, 2016 3:00 PM 35mm Film Projection (115 mins. 1951. BW. Italy.

Maddalena is a stage mother who loves movies and whose efforts to promote her daughter grow increasingly frenzied.

  • Giacomo Martini L'importanza Dei Territori Nella Storia Del Cinema Italiano. Dagli Stimoli Culturali E Antropologici Alle Film
    Giacomo Martini L’importanza dei territori nella storia del cinema italiano. Dagli stimoli culturali e antropologici alle film commission Che cosa è un territorio? E’ uno spazio fisico, geografico, materiale, visibile ma anche una dimensione sociale, culturale, morale e politica dove accadono dei fatti, dove si muovono delle persone, dove ‘pulsa’ la vita sociale e collettiva di una comunità. Prendo spunto da questa schematica definizione per avviare una rifles- sione che si basa esclusivamente sul mio lavoro più che trentennale come Responsabile delle Attività Cine-Audiovisiva relativamente al rapporto tra cinema e territorio da ottiche e criteri diversi: politici, sociali e culturali. Un’esperienza che va anche oltre la mia esperienza professionale e che forse può aiutarci a rileggere storicamente e antropologicamente parte della storia del cinema italiano, ma soprattutto guardare al futuro attraverso la nascita delle film commission regionali e non solo. Il cinema ha trovato nell’impatto con il territorio, la provincia ita- liana, una fonte inesauribile per le proprie storie di carattere diverso; una fonte ispiratrice dal punto di vista scenografico, letterario, creativo, sociale e politico. Il Cinema Italiano rinasce sulle rive del Po, nella bassa Padania, tra le risaie piemontesi e mantovane e i boschi di pioppi che segnano il confine tra il grande fiume e la pianura lombardo-emiliana. Quelle terre diventano l’ispirazione e non poteva essere diversamente, per Cesare Zavattini Antonioni, Fellini, Zurlini, Bertolucci, Bellocchio, Avati, Rossellini le cui storie s’identificano con quelle terre sia dal punto di vista drammatico/narrativo ( la sceneggiatura ) che dal punto di vista scenografico/storico e anche come documentazione/denuncia di carat- tere sociale.

Ellis Auditorium Course Syllabus, Spring 2017 READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY! Welcome to the Spring Cinema Series… a unique opportunity to learn about cinema in an interdisciplinary, cinematheque-style environment open to the general public! Throughout the term we will invite a variety of special guests to enrich your understanding of the films in the series. The films will be preceded by formal introductions and followed by public discussions. You are welcome and encouraged to bring guests throughout the term! This is not a traditional class, therefore it is important for you to review the course assignments and due dates carefully to ensure that you fulfill all the requirements to earn the grade you desire. We want the Cinema Series to be both entertaining and enlightening for students and community alike. Welcome to our college film club! COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will introduce students to one of the most powerful cultural and social communications media of our time: cinema. The successful student will become more aware of the complexity of film art, more sensitive to its nuances, textures, and rhythms, and more perceptive in “reading” its multilayered blend of image, sound, and motion. The films, texts, and classroom materials will cover a broad range of domestic, independent, and international cinema, making students aware of the culture, politics, and social history of the periods in which the films were produced.

The outcome is a statistical distribution of revenues that manifests extreme levels of inequality, indicating that the hits of the day were ‘giants’ in relation to the median film and enjoyed throughout the territory.
