The aim of the conference is to foster a debate on post-national cinema with Italy as a unifying geo-cultural site. 160 speakers from prominent academic institutions in the Czech Republic, France, Great Britain, Italy, Malta, Russia, Spain, Turkey, Argentina, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Porto Rico and United States are all committed to elaborate a multifaceted definition of Italian cinema and media beyond the boundaries of their (pen)insularity.


A distinctive feature of the conference is the attention on media. Professor Milly Buonanno (Sapienza Università of Rome) will deliver the keynote address on Friday 9 June, /Ambigue distanze e incontri ravvicinati tra la televisione e il cinema in Italia./


The themes discussed at the conference include: the past and future of RAI, Italian and foreign TV series, web series, post-colonial intermediality, transmedia, social networks and video games, cinema and the electronic arts, Paolo Sorrentino’s cinema, LGBTQ cinema and media, transnational identities, international co-productions, the influence of Italian cinema on international cinema, cinema and politics, violence against women, women’s violence, Anna Magnani, auteur cinema, cinema genres, Italian film festivals in the world, cinema and the arts, fashion, beauty and celebrities, subtitling and dubbing, cine studios and archives.


The conference will also include the screening of /Blaxploitalian 100 Year of Blackness in the Italian Cinema/ (2016), by the Italian-Ghanaian fillmmaker Fred Kuwornu, on Saturday 10 June.

Founded and edited by Flavia Laviosa and published by Intellect, /Journal of Italian Cinema and Media Studies/ is the first leading English-language forum for theoretical, methodological and critical debate on Italian film and media production, reception and consumption.
