The workshop is grounded on the main findings of the research project “International Circulation of Italian Cinema” (CinCit), a three-year research project funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (PRIN). It aims to map out the forms of distribution and circulation of Italian cinema abroad, investigating the methods of its exportation and the operations that, in some particularly important markets (the USA, the UK, France and Switzerland), help to shape and model an idea of Italian cinema and, more broadly, of Italian culture and “made in Italy”. In particular, theoretical and methodological issues will be discussed, also in relation to a possible extension of the research (from film to audio-visual media), and a specific focus will be devoted to how international magazines and criticism describe and frame Italian cinema.
