Rome, Open City: Examining the legacy after seventy yearsRuns from Thursday, November 12 to Friday, November 13. An international conference held at the Department of Film and Television Studies, University of ÌÇÐÄTV, 12-13 November, 2015 . Organised by Louis Bayman, Stephen Gundle, Karl Schoonover
The release of Roberto Rossellini’s Rome, Open City in September 1945, just months after the Liberation of Italy, is a landmark in both cinema and Italian history. The film’s tale of popular resistance in Nazi-occupied Rome brought Italy to international audiences. It announced a new aesthetics of cinema - neorealism - that would have a global impact, attracting attention and often controversy for its bold assertion of the necessary relationship between art and politics. The film is a central reference point for cinematic realism and aesthetic radicalism, influencing movements from the French New Wave to Brazilian Cinema Novo, British social realism and Dogme 95. It remains a key influence for contemporary filmmakers as well as an important reference point in areas as diverse as cultural geography, gender studies, performance, historiography, aesthetic philosophy, and the study of war, fascism and torture. Organised with the particpation of DAMS, Dipartimento di Studi Umanistici, Universita' di Torino.
