SUMMARY:Italian Film Study with Wagner College Professor Holly Van Buren
DESCRIPTION:Italian Film Study with Wagner College Professor Holly Van Buren\nWednesday\, April 10\n6:30 to 8 pm in the Galleria \nLa Dolce Vita: Fantasy and Modernity in Italian Cinema of the 1960s  \nAs a dramatic departure from the gritty realism of Italy’s Neorealist films of the 1940s and 1950s\, Italian cinema of the 1960s embraces modernism and the director’s unique point of view – a subjectivity that experiments with imagination and dreams as spectacle\, eventually verging into pastiche and exploitation.   \nCelebrating the work of Italian “auteurs” Federico Fellini\, Michelangelo Antonioni\, and spaghetti western master Sergio Leone\, this lecture will dive into some of the most iconic Italian films of all time: 8 ½; La Dolce Vita; L’Avventura; The Good\, The Bad\, and the Ugly\, and many more.  \nThe program with film clips will be presented by Holly Van Buren\, Wagner College professor of film history\, media and television studies.   \nRegister Now!
