Overview

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.

Reviews

"Offering one of the first sustained investigations of Italian experimental and avant-garde cinema in English, this volume presents the research of leading specialists into the history, theory and practice of independent filmmaking in Italy. It is an essential and long-awaited contribution to our knowledge of this fascinating area of audio-visual experimentation in 20th- and 21st-Century Italian cinema.--Patrick Rumble, University of Wisconsin-Madison By providing a rich and insightful account of experimental and independent Italian cinema from the 1960s to our present, the edited collection Experimental and Independent Italian Cinema: Legacies and Transformations into the Twenty-First Century is poised to become a cornerstone in the scholarship on these topics. Readers in search of detailed genealogies and legacies of artists such as Marinella Pirelli, Gianfranco Brebbia, Mirko Locatelli and Massimo Bacigalupo or phenomena like the Milanese film festival Filmmaker, mostly unheard-of in the English-speaking academic world, will find in this book an essential source.--Paolo Saporito, University College Cork ""Annali d'italianistica 2022"""
