Program

The course aims to provide an introduction to the history of cinema and a broad overview of the evolution of cinematographic language from its origins to the present day, with particular attention to the influence that new technologies and digital platforms have had on the systems of production and reception of audiovisual texts. The main turning points in the history of cinema will be examined, namely the silent avant-gardes, classic Hollywood, neorealism, modern cinema, Italian comedy, contemporary cinema. Particular attention will be paid to the figure of Sophia Loren, analyzed from both an acting and a star point of view. NB TO PASS THE EXAM IT IS NOT ENOUGH TO FOLLOW THE LESSONS, BUT IT IS ALSO NECESSARY TO STUDY THE PROGRAMMED TEXTS AND WATCH THE FILMS.
