Film Series Class with Reid Schultz POST WWII ITALIAN CINEMA Join writer, filmmaker and academic Reid Schultz as we analyze some of the greatest and most influential European films of the past 50 years. Beginning in the silent era, Italian cinema had a major global presence, yet its biggest influence was to come after WWII. Following the war, with much of Italy in ruins, screenwriter Caesar Zavattini created a new national cinema, one that reflected the reality of Italy at that time. From this came the Italian Neo Realism film movement and the success of this new movement took the film world by storm with new voices such as Vittorio De Sica changing cinema forever. Once this period of film came to a conclusion by the 1950s, Italian cinema exploded in new and vibrant directions exploring comedies, dramas, thrillers, and fantasy films to even greater international success. This course will explore the roots and achievement of Neo Realism and the new filmmakers that emerged afterwards including Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, and Luchino Visconti. The 6 films to be screened are: The Bicycle Thief (Directed by Vitorio De Sica, 1948, 90 mins.) I Vitelloni (Directed by Federico Fellini, 1953, 100 mins.) Big Deal on Madonna St. (Directed by Mario Monicelli, 1958, 105 mins.) L’Avventura (Directed by Michelangelo Antonioni, 1960, 140 mins.) Teorema (Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini, 1968, 105 mins.) Death in Venice (Directed by Luchino Visconti, 1971, 130 mins.) Dates: Tuesdays: April 19th – May 24th Times: 6:00pm – 9:30pm Fee: $215 #313216-01 Note: Cost of the class is for the full six weeks.
