Given its special relationship with film (many of the most important directors come from there, and the University of Bologna hosts the most important program in film studies in Italy), the image of Emilia-Romagna in modern Italian culture has been intensely established by film, and its culture has been strongly influenced by it. The session solicits investigations about how film both portrayed and, in some sense, shaped the landscape and culture of Emilia-Romagna, and the role that the region has in the collective imagery. All critical and theoretical approaches and comparisons to other arts are welcome. Papers can be in Italian or in English.
