The Cinematic World of Roberto Rossellini

This course will study the life and works of Roberto Rossellini, considered by many the forerunner of modern cinema. His films will be analyzed according to the various phases of his long cinematic career and within the social, cultural and artistic realities and inventions of the twentieth century, including neo-realism, modernism and television. Special emphasis is on Rossellini’s relation with the Mediterranean, his treatment of the third world, of women and cinema as an art form for experimentation and self fulfillment. Students who enroll in this course will benefit from the first hand experience that the instructor had as Rossellini’s assistant, as a filmmaker and as a scholar and teacher of the great “Maestro.”
