Ettore Scola,” Will Offer a New Look at One of Italy’S Most Famous Italian Filmmakers and Authors (1931- 2016) Purpose of the Symposium: The present symposium, entitled “The Cinema of Ettore Scola,” will offer a new look at one of Italy’s most famous Italian filmmakers and authors (1931- 2016). Its purpose is to gather experts of Italian cinema, of different backgrounds, who will contribute to the scholarly understanding of Scola’s cinema and his legacy. The symposium will serve as a launching platform for a future book publication: an edited volume of essays on Scola’s cinematographic career. This volume – the first in English dedicated to Scola – will provide an analytical overview of how Scola’s films contributed to subsequent major cinematographic trends and how his films were (and continue to be) understood in relation to Italian cinema. To accomplish this ambitious goal, the symposium will bring together scholars from Italy, France, Canada, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States who will provide an eclectic and original series of case studies. These studies will analyze aspects of film form, narratives, and the different genres used by Ettore Scola to explore not only his major interpretive approaches, but also his collaboration with other major Italian filmmakers and authors such as Federico Fellini, Mario Monicelli, Luigi Comencini and Dino Risi as well as screenwriters such as Furio Scarpelli, Cesare Zavattini, Bernardino Zapponi and Ruggero Maccari.

In 1971 Wake Forest University acquired what was once the American consulate in Venice. In 1974 the University purchased the property from the American government, and it was dedicated to the memory of Dr. Camillo Artom, who had fled Fascist Italy and become a doctor and biochemical researcher at Wake Forest’s medical school. His Director of the Venice Program. The Symposium on Ettore Scola at Casa Artom will offer a brand new study on Italian cinema. Its central discussion will attempt to answer seminal questions to gain a more comprehensive vision of the different genres that Scola used in his filmic career, such as comedy and drama: what is the inspiration and influence of Scola’s early comedies, satires, and grotesque parodies? What is the relationship between comedy and narratives? Why do Scola’s comedies almost always include a minor yet significant dosage of (un)predictable tragedy? Does Scola’s filmmaking merely represent the product of literary ingenuity or the visual record of a quotidian human experience? Do Scola’s tales have any significance with regard to morality, human psychology, or any other realm of philosophical reflection? Can a narration or screenplay enlighten the readers/spectators about the complexities of human struggle? The second goal for the Scola’s Symposium despite a series of original contributions, is an opportunity for the intellectual exchange that will create unity, fluidity and points of reference among the participants’ essays. ETTORE SCOLA. Internationally known as a filmmaker and screenwriter, Ettore Scola’s career includes some of the best known Italian films such as A Special Day (1977), including Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni and We All Loved Each Other So Much (C'eravamo tanto amati, 1974). His cinema is often considered unadulterated renderings of Italian people. His inherent pessimism, a direct result of the changing times of the 1960s and 1970s, pervaded his films and social vision, heralding a new type of cinematic anxiety and outrage. When used in comedic contexts, Scola realized that cynicism, irony, malevolence and cruelty, a series of devices previously only employed in dramas, triggered the opposite reaction: humor. Four of Scola’s feature films earned Oscar nominations: “Una giornata particolare” (A Special Day) in 1977; “I nuovi mostri” (Viva Italia!) in 1978; “Ballando ballando” (Le Bal) in 1983; and “La Famiglia” (The Family) in 1988. As a script writer, Scola is considered like “Il sorpasso” (The Easy Life) and “I mostri” (The Monsters) or “Io la conoscevo bene” (I Knew Her Well). From his beginnings as a satirical writer for ‘Marc’Aurelio,’ to his last tribute to his Federico Fellini (How Strange to be Named Federico), which was presented at the Venice Film Festival last year, Scola has earned recognition as one of the most important authors of Italian cinema. In the 1976 Cannes Film Festival, Scola won Best Director Award for Brutti, sporchi e cattivi and in 1978 the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Film for A Special Day as well as an Academy Award nomination for the same film. Ettore Scola’s production includes the following films: Se permettete parliamo di donne (1964) La congiuntura (1965) Passione d'amore (1981) L'arcidiavolo (1966) La Nuit de Varennes (1982) Il Commissario Pepe (1969) Le Bal (1983) Permette? Rocco Papaleo (1971) Maccheroni (1985) La più bella serata della mia vita (1972) La famiglia (1987) Trevico-Torino (viaggio nel Fiat-Nam)

  • Three Leading Italian Film-Makers Have Been Invited by the Museum of Modern Art
    m The Museum of Modern Art No. 50 FOR RELEASE: U West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 245-3200 Cable: Modernart Tuesday, April 8, I969 Three leading Italian film-makers have been invited by The Museum of Modern Art to address the American public, Willard Van Dyke, Director of the Department of Film, announced today. The directors are Bernardo Bertolucci, who will appear, 8:00 p.m., April 8th; Cesare Zavattini,scheduled to speak on May I3; and Marco Bellocchio,who will talk on June 10; specially chosen motion pictures will accompany the talks held in cooperation with the Istituto Italiano di Cultura. Programs start at 8:00 p.m. in the Museum Auditorium. The evening with Bernardo Bertolucci will include a preview of his most recent feature, "Partner" inspired by Dostoevski's "The Double." The picture,described by Bertolucci as "the story of a man who meets his own double," stars Pierre Clementi, who played the vile, sold-toothed anti-hero in "Belle de Jour." Bertolucci, a poet, at 22 made his second feature film "Before the Revolution," which received critical acclaim and created controversy. One critic, Roger Greenspun, wrote -- "the film draws directly upon Stendhal's 'Charter House of Parma;' in its mood and tone it draws perhaps as significantly upon Flaubert's 'Sentimental Education.' But in its meaning and in its particular kind of appreciation of all the life it observes, the picture stands by itself drawing essentially upon the sensibility and gift for under­ standing of the man who made it." The title, "Before the Revolution," derives from Talleyrand -- "only those who lived before the revolution knew how sweet life can be." The theme, reputedly auto­ biographical, deals with a young man's search to find his own values and discard the established ones of his respectable milieu.

  • The Legacy of Futurism's Obsession with Speed in 1960S
    Deus (ex) macchina: The Legacy of Futurism’s Obsession with Speed in 1960s Italy Adriana M. Baranello University of California, Los Angeles Il Futurismo si fonda sul completo rinnovamento della sensibilità umana avvenuto per effetto delle grandi scoperte scientifiche.1 In “Distruzione di sintassi; Imaginazione senza fili; Parole in lib- ertà” Marinetti echoes his call to arms that formally began with the “Fondazione e Manifesto del Futurismo” in 1909. Marinetti’s loud, attention grabbing, and at times violent agenda were to have a lasting impact on Italy. Not only does Marinetti’s ideology reecho throughout Futurism’s thirty-year lifespan, it reechoes throughout twentieth-century Italy. It is this lasting legacy, the marks that Marinetti left on Italy’s cultural subconscious, that I will examine in this paper. The cultural moment is the early Sixties, the height of Italy’s boom economico and a time of tremendous social shifts in Italy. This paper will look at two specific examples in which Marinetti’s social and aesthetic agenda, par- ticularly the nuova religione-morale della velocità, speed and the car as vital reinvigorating life forces.2 These obsessions were reflected and refocused half a century later, in sometimes subtly and sometimes surprisingly blatant ways. I will address, principally, Dino Risi’s 1962 film Il sorpasso, and Emilio Isgrò’s 1964 Poesia Volkswagen, two works from the height of the Boom. While the dash towards modernity began with the Futurists, the articulation of many of their ideas and projects would come to frui- tion in the Boom years. Leslie Paul Thiele writes that, “[b]reaking the chains of tradition, the Futurists assumed, would progressively liberate humankind, allowing it to claim its birthright as master of its world.”3 Futurism would not last to see this ideal realized, but parts of their agenda return continually, and especially in the post-war period.
