Considering films as audio-visual creations opens new inroads into
the cultural practice, politics, and aesthetics of the soundtrack.
This book is critical and trans-disciplinary engagement with cinema
in Italy that examines the national archive of film based on sound
and listening using a holistic audio-visual approach to film
politics and practices from the coming of sound to the screen in
the Fascist era, through the work of post WWII neorealist
directors, to art cinema directors such as Michelangelo Antonioni
and Pier Paolo Pasolini. Sisto shifts the sensory paradigm of film
history and analysis from the optical to the sonic, demonstrating
how this translates into a shift of canonical narratives and
interpretations. Listening functions as a fundamental critical tool
that permits viewers to detect the interplay of technological
productions, historical contingencies, and mediations which
coalesce within the political and aesthetical track of sound at the
movies.
