Film Sound in Italy - Listening to the Screen

A critical engagement with cinema in Italy, this book examines the national archive of film based on sound and listening using a holistic audio-visual approach. Sisto shifts the sensory paradigm of film history and analysis from the optical to the sonic, demonstrating how this translates into a shift of canonical narratives and interpretations.

Antonella Sisto is Five College Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Massachusettts, Amherst, USA.
