Piero Garofalo, Daniela Selisca, "Ciak… si parla italiano – Cinema for italian conversation"




Piero Garofalo, Daniela Selisca, “Ciak… si parla italiano – Cinema for italian conversation”
Publisher: Focus | 2005 | ISBN: 1585100943 | English/Italian | PDF | 290 pages | 117 Mb


‘Ciak… si parla italiano’ is a text designed specifically for courses in Italian conversation that focus on cinema as the context for discussion. This text covers sixteen films ranging from 1960-2003, and covering a broad range of genres including comedy, drama, science fiction, and historical.


Exercises include vocabulary building, character analysis, narrative comprehension, scene analysis, advanced grammar, imaginary interviews, creative script writing, further research suggestions, and poetry analysis.


Each film chapter includes readings that are varied and augment the film screenings and class discussions. There are five types of readings: background information on the director and film, cultural explications, scene transcriptions, director’s comments, and poetry. While the first two serve to orient and contextualize the films for the students, the transcriptions allows for a more detailed linguistic analysis of a particular scene. The director’s comments provide an insightful interpretation to stimulate discussion. The poetry readings were inspired by filmic references and inspire students to expand their insights beyond the specific film.

Italian Political Cinema




Giancarlo Lombardi, “Italian Political Cinema”
English | ISBN: 3034322178 | 2016 | 457 pages | PDF | 3 MB


Despite the powerful anti-political impulses that have pervaded Italian society in recent years, Italian cinema has sustained and renewed its longstanding engagement with questions of politics, both in the narrow definition of the term, and in a wider understanding that takes in reflections on public life, imaginary, and national identity. This book explores these political dimensions of contemporary Italian cinema by looking at three complementary strands: the thematics of contemporary political film from a variety of perspectives; the most prominent directors currently engaged in this ‘filone’; and case studies of the films that best represent this engagement. Conceived and edited by two Italian film scholars working in radically different academic settings, ‘Italian Political Cinema ‘brings together a wide array of critical positions and research from Italy, France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States. The tripartite structure and international perspective create a volume that is an accessible entry-point into a subject that continues to attract critical and cultural attention, both inside and outside of academia.

That’s right, you already know Italian–even if you never took a language course in your life!

Inside you will find chapters devoted to three types of words: familiar terms, identical and similar terms, and “falsely similar” terms. By studying these words, you will realize just how many Italian words you already know and how easy it is to pick up those terms that are close in meaning to their English counterparts. You will have a 5,000-word Italian vocabulary in no time at all!
