This innovative approach---the interweaving of examples of cinema with architecture, art history, medical discourse, photography, and literature--addresses the challenge posed by feminism to film study while calling attention to marginalized artists. An object of this critical remapping is Elvira Notari (1875-1946), Italy's first and most prolific woman filmmaker, whose documentary-style work on street life in Naples, a forerunner of neorealism, was popularly acclaimed in Italy and the United States until its suppression during the Fascist regime. Since only fragments of Notari's films exist today, Bruno illuminates the filmmaker's contributions to early Italian cinematography by evoking the cultural terrain in which she operated. What emerges is an intertextual montage of urban film culture highlighting a woman's view on love, violence, poverty, desire, and death. This panorama ranges from the city's exteriors to the body's interiors. Reclaiming an alternative history of women's filmmaking and reception, Bruno draws a cultural history that persuasively argues for a spatial, corporal interpretation of film language. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aMotion pictures$zItaly$xHistory 606 $aMotion pictures for women$zItaly 606 $aWomen in motion pictures 606 $aCity and town life in motion pictures 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aMotion pictures for women 615 0$aWomen in motion pictures. 615 0$aCity and town life in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43/023/092 700 $aBruno$b Giuliana$0165126 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248120903316 996 $aStreetwalking on a ruined map$91236991 997 $aUNISA
