This is the first English-language anthology on experimental and
independent Italian cinema. Providing an overview of the legacies
and transformations of Italian vanguard practices of moving images,
the book also explores the historical and sociocultural milieus,
the individual artists and filmmakers, and the original work
peculiar to Italian stock. Outlining the individual movements, the
diverse film artists (from the last century and into the
twenty-first), the book pays particular attention to the
underground and independent practices of the 1960s and 1970s
onwards, and includes an enlightening overview of Italian 'family
films', as well as studies of contemporary champions of independent
practices of documentary and narrative cinema.
Discussing a variety of independent and experimental Italian films,
this book gives voice to a critcically neglected form of Italian
cinema. By examining the work of directors such as Marinella
Pirelli, Mirko Locatelli and Cesrae Zavattini, the book defines,
inspects and studies the cinematic panorama of Italy through a new
lens. It thereby explores the character of independent films and
their related practices within the Italian historical, cultural and
cinematic landscape.
Dreamscapes in Italian Cinema explores different representations of
dreams, visions, hallucinations, and hypnagogic states in Italian
film culture, covering the works of some of the most significant
auteurs in the history of Italian cinema (Fellini, Pasolini,
Moretti, Bellocchio, among others). Dreams are discussed both in a
filmic context, considering the diegetic and formal techniques
employed to construct and represent them, and as allegories or
metaphors in a broader cultural, political, and social sense (the
film industry itself as the proverbial dream factory, and dreams as
hopes, aspirations or altogether parallel universes, for example).
The book covers works released over different decades and spanning
multiple genres (drama, gothic film, horror, comedy), and it is
intended to shed light on a topic that is as suggestive as it is
insufficiently studied.
