From spaghetti westerns to police chases, from zombie movies to murder mysteries, classic Italian genre cinema has developed a massive cult following in recent years. What to some can be easily dismissed as pure exploitation, for others is an important cultural and political barometer for the turmoil of Italian society of the 60s and 70s.
Dr Russ Hunter takes us on an enlightening journey through the colour and chaos to explain how real world issues helped to shape the golden age of Italian genre cinema. You'll never look at a zombie movie the same way again!
THIS IS A RECORDING, AND WILL BE AVAILABLE TO ACCESS FROM 13th MARCH UNTIL THE END OF THE FESTIVAL. A PRIVATE LINK WILL BE PROVIDED UPON UNLOCKING THE SCREENING.
