Somatizing the Regime: Fascism as Illness in the Films of the 70s
Organizer: Rita Gagliano, Temple University [log in to unmask]
This panel focuses on those films produced in the tumultuous 1970s whose clear intent is to open a dialogue with the present inspiring significant questions not only about Fascism, but more specifically about its moral and psychological effects on the individual. This new post-neorealist perspective contributes to a complex and consistent film universe of arresting illustrations, visual metaphors and narrative synthesis that address the cultural challenges and political transformations of 1970s Italy. Fascism thus becomes a powerful trope through which each filmmaker attempts a recognizable and stylized interpretation of a radically changing nation.
