Description
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.
