This is the first English-language anthology on experimental and independent Italian cinema. Providing an overview of the legacies and transformations of Italian vanguard practices of moving images, the book also explores the historical and sociocultural milieus, the individual artists and filmmakers, and the original work peculiar to Italian stock. Outlining the individual movements, the diverse film artists (from the last century and into the twenty-first), the book pays particular attention to the underground and independent practices of the 1960s and 1970s onwards, and includes an enlightening overview of Italian 'family films', as well as studies of contemporary champions of independent practices of documentary and narrative cinema.

By providing a rich and insightful account of experimental and independent Italian cinema from the 1960s to our present, the edited collection Experimental and Independent Italian Cinema: Legacies and Transformations into the Twenty-First Century is poised to become a cornerstone in the scholarship on these topics. Readers in search of detailed genealogies and legacies of artists such as Marinella Pirelli, Gianfranco Brebbia, Mirko Locatelli and Massimo Bacigalupo or phenomena like the Milanese film festival Filmmaker, mostly unheard-of in the English-speaking academic world, will find in this book an essential source.
