Sir Christopher Frayling: Once Upon a Time in Italy<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once upon a time…at the end of August 1964… a film opened at the Supercinema in Florence which was to change the face of global film culture, and especially of action cinema. It had a very unpromising pedigree: a low budget Italian-West German-Spanish co-production, using leftover sets from a Zorro adventure, based on a Japanese samurai film, starring an American actor from a long-running CBS television series which was fast running out of ideas, with an Italian director whose only previous credited feature film had been The Colossus of Rhodes<\/em>. Unpromising, and yet…the film was A Fistful of Dollars<\/em>, and, as Quentin Tarantino recently said, “modern cinema begins here”: films about other films; the interplay of music and image; the comic-strip panache; the pop-inflected soundtrack; the hybridisation of different cultures; the birth of the modern hero…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This illustrated talk, by Sergio Leone’s biographer, will revisit and re-examine the film and its legacy, sixty years on.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christopher Frayling<\/strong> is an award-winning writer and broadcaster, and former Rector of the Royal College of Art as well as former Chair of Arts Council England and of the Design Council. A regular contributor to BBC Radio 4, he has published twenty-six books – including Spaghetti Westerns, Sergio Leone – something to do with death<\/em>, and Once Upon a Time in the West<\/em> – shooting a masterpiece<\/em>. He has also written and presented the extras for the DVD versions of Leone’s Dollars films, and curated major exhibitions about the Italian Western in Los Angeles, Turin, Rome and Paris. He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000 for “services to art and design education”, and is currently Distinguished Professor of Arts at the University of Lancaster, Professor Emeritus of Cultural History at the Royal College of Art and a Fellow of Churchill College Cambridge.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stefano Baschiera: Imitate, reuse, recycle: for a new approach to the Italian filoni<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This talk addresses traditional academic approaches to the Italian genre factory of the 1960s and 1970s, typically dominated by questions of auteurism, national cinema, and genre theory, to reflect on the role of popular cinema within a transnational context. After engaging with the \u2018cinema of imitation\u2019 and the development of the sottofiloni the talk focuses on the cinema of the period in terms of its production system and its ability to exploit cultural trends and international networks while maximising scarce resources. The result is a reflection on the concept of recycling as a key element for understanding the production of Italian popular cinema of the period and a look at the lessons in sustainability that can be applied to the contemporary production landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stefano Baschiera<\/strong> is Professor in Film and Screen Industries at Queen\u2019s University Belfast. His research on cinematic spaces, European cinema, and screen industries has been published in various edited collections and journals, including Bianco e Nero<\/em>, Studies in European Cinema<\/em> and The New Review of Film and Television Studies<\/em>. Recently, he co-edited Italian Horror Cinema<\/em> (2016), Film and Domestic Space: Architectures, Representations, Dispositif<\/em> (2020), World Cinema on Demand<\/em> (2022). The monograph, Domestic Space in Italian New Wave Cinema, 1961-1972<\/em> is forthcoming for EUP.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
