Film Festivals, Ideology and Italian Art Cinema is the first systematic study of the role ideology plays in film festivals’ construction of dominant ideas about art cinema. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilm festivals are considered the driving force of the film industry outside Hollywood, disseminating ideals of cinematic art and humanist politics. However, the question of what drives them remains highly contentious. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn a rare consideration of the European competitive film festival circuit as a whole, this book analyses the shared economic, geopolitical and cultural histories that characterise ‘European A festivals’. It offers, too, the first extensive analysis of such festivals’ role in the canonisation of select Italian films, from \u003ccite\u003eRome, Open City\u003c\/cite\u003e to \u003ccite\u003eThe Great Beauty and Gomorrah\u003c\/cite\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book proposes a new approach to ideology critique, one that enables detailed examination of how film festivals construct ideas about not only contemporary art cinema, but assumptions about gender, race, colonialism and capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41270852288609,"sku":"9789463720366","price":144.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_20840713.jpg?v=1708768692","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789463720366-film-festivals-ideology-and-italian-art","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
