Intellect is pleased to present Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies 13.3!

Special Issue: ‘Liliana Cavani’s Francesco Trilogy’

The present Special Issue consists of five articles and an interview with Liliana Cavani, reflecting on her long artistic career. It addresses traditional and more contemporary representations of St Francis, a vital tradition that Cavani drew on and transformed in her own reimaginings of this revolutionary religious and political figure. The articles, written by scholars working in different theoretical contexts, focus on the literature, media and culture of Cavani’s ‘Francesco trilogy’.

Aims & Scope

Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies is a fully peer-reviewed, English-language journal, which explores Italian cinema and media as sites of crossing, allowing critical discussion of the work of filmmakers, artists in the film industry and media professionals. The journal intends to revive a critical discussion on the auteurs, celebrate new directors and accented cinema and examine Italy as a geo-cultural locus for contemporary debate on translocal cinema.
