Talk by Dr. Luca Caminati “Notes for a Revolution: Pasolini in the Global South”
The Italian Program and the Program in Cinema and Media Studies at the University of Maryland are proud to present a two-day event to celebrate the centennial of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s birth. One of the most controversial and influential figures of the twentieth century, Pasolini was a multifaceted artist and an outspoken public intellectual. This two-day event will feature a distinguished guest, film scholar Luca Caminati (Concordia University). We will explore in depth Pasolini’s cinematic work with a talk and a masterclass by Caminati, and the screening of a selection of Pasolini’s films recently restored by the Cineteca di Bologna. The event is part of our ongoing collaboration with the Cinema Ritrovato festival.
