“We are under attack because we can talk to the vast majority of people in a very bipartisan way,” Cinema America’s president said
IN JUNE four young men were attacked on the streets of Rome. One victim had his nose broken; another required stitches to his face. They had been targeted as “anti-fascists” for wearing “Cinema America” T-shirts, the name of an organisation which hosts open-air film screenings in the city in the summer months, and they had attended a viewing that evening. When police arrested the suspected attackers, all aged 20, it emerged that two had close ties to CasaPound, a neo-fascist group.
In fact, the Italian film industry was once closely tied to the fascist regime: the Venice film festival was inaugurated by Benito Mussolini, and Robert Rossellini’s first productions were little more than propaganda. After the second world war film-makers regained some independence, and left-leaning directors such as Bernado Bertolucci and Pier Paolo Pasolini enjoyed success. Nowadays many Italians look to cinema purely for entertainment.
