Join tutor Matt Page for a 6 week deep dive into the world of Italian Cinema, looking at the work of some of cinema’s greatest ever filmmakers from the silent era right through to modern day.
Over the course of 6 weeks you will discover the story of Italian cinema, starting with early silents and the fascist period, moving onto the critical acclaim of Neorealism and the creative revolution that followed. You will explore popular mid-century Italian film subgenres including spaghetti westerns, peplum and the giallo movies. Finally, you will look at more recent output such as Oscar winners Cinema Paradiso (1988) and The Great Beauty (2013).
This course will be delivered in person at Phoenix.
