Trieste Science+Fiction Festival – TRIESTE SCIENCE+FICTION FESTIVAL – Oggi, giovedì 2 novembre, Urania d’Argento a Sergio Martino Oggi, giovedì 2 novembre, verrà consegnato il Premio Urania d’Argento (alle 20.00 al Teatro Miela), organizzato con l’omonima testata letteraria edita da Mondadori e dedicato ai grandi artisti del fantastico, al maestro del cinema popolare italiano Sergio Martino. L’evento speciale dedicato al grande regista di genere prevede prevede la presentazione della recente autobiografia “Sergio Martino: Mille peccati… Nessuna virtù?” e la proiezione omaggio del cult postatomico 2019 – Dopo la caduta di New York. A Trieste Sergio Martino racconterà “la storia del lavoro di un regista“ trash emerito”, cercando di bilanciare gli insulti dei critici all’uscita dei miei film, negli anni Settanta e Ottanta, e gli osanna delle nuove generazioni che hanno potuto apprezzare in dvd i miei film e rivalutarli, il tutto grazie alla stima di Quentin Tarantino, Eli Roth, Jaume Balaguerò e altri autori e critici stranieri, bontà loro.” L’iniziativa prosegue il percorso culturale del festival triestino che negli anni ha sempre omaggiato i grandi maestri del cinema di genere e del fantastico italiano, da Dario Argento ad Antonio Margheriti, da Enzo G. Castellari a Mario e Lamberto Bava, curando apprezzati omaggi e retrospettive rimaste nella memoria degli appassionati come Fant’Italia. Cos’è stato Sergio Martino per la galassia del cinema italiano lo sintetizza con puntuale e matematico rigore Ernesto Gastaldi, all’interno della prefazione all’autobiografia martiniana: «66 regie, 44 sceneggiature, 5 film come direttore di produzione. Un record di lavoro e di successi». […] Negli anni d’oro della Devon (poi Zenith, infine Dania) Sergio e Luciano hanno esplorato – ognuno rispettando ruoli e professionalità dell’altro – tutti i generi del cinema popolare, scoperto volti e corpi attoriali (su tutti Edwige Fenech, ma potremmo citarne a decine fino ad arrivare a Nicole Kidman), girato il globo e regalato al pubblico ciò che il pubblico chiedeva, ovvero: spettacolo, in forme sempre diverse. C’è stata l’epoca degli spaventi, confezionati mediante stranianti grandangoli, vertiginosi zoom, antirealistici colori primari e immagini smerigliate fino alla moltiplicazione negli psico-thriller di inizio anni ’70. […] Martino è stato anche sinonimo di mondo movie, western, lacrima-movie (il sottostimato eppure raffinatissimo La bellissima estate), horror cannibalico e action spionistico internazionale. Soprattutto, ha donato alla fantascienza post- apocalittica due titoli come 2019. Dopo la caduta di New York e Vendetta dal futuro, fantasiose ricostruzioni di mondi realizzate ottimizzando mezzi di fortuna grazie a un’inventiva fuori dal comune. Un’inventiva che in quegli anni ha reso il nostro cinema un prodotto da esportazione competitivo e vincente sui mercati esteri. Un’inventiva che Sergio Martino ha sempre messo al servizio dei suoi film con l’umiltà, la professionalità e l’eleganza che lo contraddistinguono, come metteur en scène e come uomo.

  • An Interview with Sergio Martino: an American in Rome
    1 An interview with Sergio Martino: An American in Rome Giulio Olesen, Bournemouth University Introduction Sergio Martino (born Rome, 1938) is a film director known for his contribution to 1970s and 1980s Italian filone cinema. His first success came with the giallo Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh (Next!) (1971), from which he moved to spaghetti westerns (Mannaja [A Man Called Blade], 1977), gialli (I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale [Torso], 1973), poliziotteschi (Milano trema: la polizia vuole giustizia [The Violent Professionals], 1973), horror movies (La montagna del dio cannibale [The Mountain of the Cannibal God], 1978; L’isola degli uomini pesce [Island of Mutations], 1979), science fiction movies (2019, dopo la caduta di New York [2019, After the Fall of New York], 1983) and comedies (Giovannona Coscialunga disonorata con onore [Giovannona Long-Thigh], 1973). His works witness the hybridization of international and local cinematic genres as a pivotal characteristic of Italian filone cinema. This face-to-face interview took place in Rome on 26 October 2015 in the venues premises of Martino’s production company, Dania Film, and addresses his horror and giallo productions. Much scholarship analyses filone cinema under the lens of cult or transnational cinema studies. In this respect, the interview aims at collecting Martino’s considerations regarding the actual state of debate on Italian filone cinema. Nevertheless, e Emphasis is put on a different approach towards this kind of cinema; an approach that aims at analysing filone cinema for its capacity to represent contemporaneous issues and concerns. Accordingly, introducing Martino’s relationship with Hollywood, the interview focuses on the way in which his horror movies managed to intercept register fears and neuroses of Italian society.

  • Torso-Notes.Pdf
    1 Notes on I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale (released in English as Torso), 1973, directed by Sergio Martino. Iago Faustus [email protected] Recording date: 25 August 2019 Giallo and Torso. This hard-to-define collection of movies gets is name originally from paperback mystery novels that the Milanese publisher Mondadori began putting out in 1929. They were often translations of murder mysteries by English-language authors like Agatha Christie, S.S. Van Dine (the creator of Philo Vance), Edgar Wallace (a very prolific crime and adventure writer who among other things created the character of King Kong) and Earl Derr Biggers (the creator of Charlie Chan). These cheap editions, often sold in railway stations as a means of distracting travelers on long journeys, had yellow (giallo) covers, hence the genre name. The classic giallo is thus a mystery, but one into which unusual lurid elements from Italian exploitation sensibilities have been intermixed. Ernesto Gastaldi, the writer of this week's movie and frequent collaborator with its director, began an answer to the question like this: A giallo is not a detective story, it is not a thriller, it is not a suspense movie, not a horror film. But it can be any one of these things and also all of these things all rolled into one. What sets a giallo apart from another story? Two things: a difficult to explain event and its rigorously logical explanation based on the evidence and details provided in that 2 story. The event is almost always a murder. (Hovarth 2015, p.

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] Gender, Genre and Sociocultural Change in the Giallo: 1970-1975 Michael Mackenzie MA, MLitt Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Theatre, Film and Television Studies School of Culture and Creative Arts University of Glasgow August 2013 2 Abstract This thesis examines representations of gender in the Italian giallo, a short-lived but tremendously popular, lucrative and prolific body of films in the murder-mystery thriller tradition that enjoyed their heyday in the early-to-mid 1970s. Traditionally, both academic and populist responses to these films have focused on the output of a small number of maverick directors that have been elevated critically above their peers. Conversely, this thesis aligns itself with a more recent trend towards eschewing auteurist readings in favour of examining the giallo as a broad ‘filone’ (cycle) defined by shared iconography, narrative conventions and underlying anxieties.

  • The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh and the Giallo: an International Film Conference
    H-Film The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh and the Giallo: an International Film Conference Discussion published by Andreas Ehrenreich on Sunday, May 10, 2015 The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh and the Giallo: an International Film Conference Rome, June 7–9, 2015 http://blogs.shu.ac.uk/giallo Venue: Istituto Storico Austriaco, viale Bruno Buozzi 111–113, 00197 Roma Hosted by the Austrian Historical Institute and Sheffield Hallam University’s Department of Humanities in cooperation with Cineteca Nazionale The giallo is a cinema of leather gloves and razors, of inappropriate pathos, which dignifies murder as an artistic act. It is a guilty pleasure whose concise mannerism represents a unique phenomenon within the history of European film. Mario Bava who conceived the formula with The Evil Eye (1963) provided its first masterpiece withBlood and Black Lace (1964) to inspire very heterogeneous successors. Dario Argento, Massimo Dallamano, Luciano Ercoli, Lucio Fulci, Umberto Lenzi and, especially, Sergio Martino are the most influential but only a few of all the directors producing perhaps more than 200 gialli in the 1970s. Through the DVD boom, a new generation of cinephiles has gained access to the popular film cycle, which has been enthusiastically embraced. The conference’s aim is to explore the genre beyond Bava’s and Argento’s well-studied contributions to gain more profound insights into the various manifestations of this particular film cycle. Professor Richard Dyer (King’s College London) is our distinguished keynote speaker. On June 7, the Cinema Trevi will show three films by Sergio Martino. Before the screening of The Strange Vice of Mrs.
