[ecrea] AATI Strasbourg 2013 panels

CFP for the following sessions and roundtables at the AATI conference in 
Strasbourg, 2013

Panel: Italian Translocal Cinema and Media.

Organizer: Flavia Laviosa, Wellesley College

(flaviosa /at/ wellesley.edu)



This panel aims to reflect on the new semantics of what constitutes 
Italian cinema today. Within the realm of a post-national and 
trans-cultural debate, the purpose of this panel is to refer to Italy as 
the unifying geo-cultural site for a contemporary discussion on 
translocal cinema. Contributions will elaborate a multifaceted 
definition of Italian cinema, transcending geo-ethnic land and sea 
borders and moving away from merely celebratory local cinematic 
experiences. This reconfigured collocation and reassessed connotation of 
Italian film and media will be examined through the artistic production 
of filmmakers and media practitioners working within and outside the 
country.

Panel: Beyond Mainstream Italian Cinema

Organizer: Flavia Laviosa, Wellesley College

(flaviosa /at/ wellesley.edu)

of innovative trans-media and cross-media narratives, video- 
installation art, short films, long/short feature/documentary animation. 
This panel welcomes papers which explore these alternative forms of

Panel: Foreign Directors and Productions in Italy

Organizer: Flavia Laviosa, Wellesley College

(flaviosa /at/ wellesley.edu)



The Italian Film Commission (IFC) is a division of the Italian Trade 
Commission (ITC) and operates as the promotional office for the 
audiovisual industry. Woody Allen’s 2012 feature To Rome with Love 
indicates continued interest and fascination for Italy as the ideal 
cinematic set. Even before the institution of the IFC, Italy was the 
preferred location for numerous international productions. The history 
of world cinema is rich of foreign films set in Italy, including, but 
not limited to Hollywood filmmakers. Submissions will explore the 
artistic work of international directors in Italy in all periods and genres.

Panel: Professionals in the Italian Film Industry

Organizer: Flavia Laviosa, Wellesley College

(flaviosa /at/ wellesley.edu)



This panel intends to promote, stimulate and bring together current 
research and contemporary debates on the contributions of film industry 
professionals, an area which has been somewhat neglected in academic 
discourse. Papers on the work of screenplay writers, art directors, 
cinematographers, film editors, sound engineers, costume designers and 
make-up artists in Italian cinema will help redress this imbalance while 
encouraging further research.

Panel: Sponsored or Ephemeral Italian and Italian-American Films

Organizer: Flavia Laviosa, Wellesley College

(flaviosa /at/ wellesley.edu)



Sponsored film, or ephemeral film, as defined by film archivist Rick 
Prelinger, is a film made by a particular sponsor for a specific purpose 
other than as a work of art. These films were designed to serve a 
specific pragmatic purpose for a limited time. The genre is composed of 
advertising films, educational films, industrial videos, training films, 
social guidance films, and government-produced films. This panel 
welcomes contributions on this specific genre of Italian and 
Italian-American films.
