Cesare Zavattini: Selected Writings

cultural and contextual commentary, translator and editor David Brancaleone traces not only Zavattini's theory of the screen, but also his experimentation in new film practices, including the flash-film (film lampo), the inquiry film ("film inchiesta"), cinema as encounter ("cinema d'incontro"), the diary film ("film diario"), the confessional film ("film-confessione"), and the grass-roots community film ("cinema insieme" or "cinema di tanti per tanti"). Each text is preceded by an introduction, providing an essential frame of reference to make these writings entirely accessible to the reader. [Publisher's Text]
