The Italian Language Film Series offers Ramapo students an opportunity to experience the innovations that Italian cinema has contributed to the art of movie-making, while also allowing students the option of fulfilling their CEC components. The series features iconic directors such as Frederico Fellini, Nanni Moretti, and Paolo Sorrentino. The series allows students to experience the Italian language through film, immersing them in a more visual and interactive method of learning that will aid their overall understanding of Italian.
Unlike some of the other movies on this list, Perfetti sconosciuti is an excellent movie for Italian learners of all abilities. Thanks to heavy use of body language and typical Italian hand gestures, beginners and lower-intermediates (from B1 level) will find the more complex dialogue easy to follow. Meanwhile, advanced learners can gain an insight into the nuances of Italian attitudes towards love, family and unemployment.
This beautiful movie is simultaneously agonizing and tender, a story that stays with you long after the credits have rolled. And from a language learning perspective, the vocabulary is often quite simple, making it an excellent choice for lower-intermediate Italian learners who are interested in learning about life in Italy under the rule of the Axis powers.
A major in Italian follows one of two tracks: Italian or Italian Studies. The Italian track is taught entirely in the Italian language, offering the greatest opportunity for refining, using, and being exposed to the language as a cultural form shaped by its political, historical, literary, artistic, and social contexts. The Italian Studies track allows you to take two courses for the major outside of the field. In these two courses, taught in English, you can approach Italian history and culture through the lenses of art history, classics, comparative literature, history, or music.
F&M hosts a chapter of Gamma Kappa Alpha (GKA), the National Italian Honor Society. The purpose of GKA is to acknowledge superior academic performance in the field of Italian language, literature and culture. Each year, outstanding students of Italian are invited to become a member of the society during an induction ceremony held on campus.
Credited with revitalizing Italy's film industry, Cinema Paradiso has been cited as one of the greatest films of all time.[3] The ending is considered among the greatest endings in movie history. It was a commercial success, and won several awards, including the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film[4] and the Cannes Film Festival's Grand Prix. It was nominated for 11 BAFTA Awards and won five; including Best Actor for Philippe Noiret, Best Supporting Actor for Salvatore Cascio, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Foreign Language Film, a record for a foreign language feature until it was broken by All Quiet on the Western Front in 2023.
A few years after World War II, eight-year-old Salvatore is the mischievous, intelligent son of a war widow. Nicknamed Toto, he discovers a love for films and spends every free moment at the local movie house, Cinema Paradiso. Although they initially start off on tense terms, he develops a friendship with the middle-aged projectionist, Alfredo, who often lets him watch movies from the projection booth. During the shows, the audience can be heard booing because there are missing sections, causing the films to suddenly jump, bypassing scenes with romantic kisses or embraces. The local priest, owner of the cinema, had ordered these sections to be censored, and the deleted scenes are cut from the film reels by Alfredo and piled on the projection room floor, where Alfredo keeps them until he can splice them back in for the film to be sent to the next town.
Back in the present, Salvatore realizes that he is very satisfied with his life from a professional point of view but not from a personal one, so decides to return home to attend Alfredo's funeral. Though the town has changed greatly, he now understands why Alfredo thought it was important that he leave. Alfredo's widow tells him that the old man followed Salvatore's successes with pride and he left him something: an unlabeled film reel and the old stool that Salvatore once stood on to operate the projector. Salvatore learns that Cinema Paradiso is to be demolished to make way for a parking lot. At the funeral, he recognizes the faces of many people who attended the cinema when he was the projectionist.
Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies is a fully peer-reviewed, English-language journal, which explores Italian cinema and media as sites of crossing, allowing critical discussion of the work of filmmakers, artists in the film industry and media professionals. The journal intends to revive a critical discussion on the auteurs, celebrate new directors and accented cinema and examine Italy as a geo-cultural locus for contemporary debate on translocal cinema.
Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies is an English-language forum for theoretical, methodological and critical debate on Italian film and media production, reception and consumption. It provides a platform for dialogue between academics, filmmakers, cinema and media professionals. This peer-reviewed journal invites submissions of scholarly articles relating to the artistic features, cultural themes, international influence and history of Italian film and media.

The profound transformation undergone by the rapidly expanding media environment under the impact of digital technology, has lead scholars in the field of media studies to elaborate new theoretical paradigms and methodological approaches to account for the complexities of a changing landscape of convergence and hybridization.

Taking into account this evolving scenario, the JICMS provides an international arena for critical engagement with a wider range of issues related to the current media environment. The journal welcomes in particular contributions that discuss any aspects of Italian media production, distribution and consumption within national and transnational, social, political, economic and historical contexts.

Within the realm of a post-national and trans-cultural debate, the purpose of JICMS is to refer to Italy as the unifying site for a contemporary discussion on translocal cinema. The journal aims to elaborate a multifaceted definition of Italian cinema, transcending geo-ethnic land and sea borders and moving away from merely celebratory local cinematic experiences. Therefore, the journal also devotes attention to Italophone filmmakers and diasporic, accented or exilic cinema. JICMS is also interested in the artistic intersections between Italian and other international cinemas.
JICMS also invites submissions that examine experimental cinema, video art, short films, long/short feature and documentary animation, original and adapted screenplays, film music (songs and scores), issues of stardom and reception studies. The professional contributions of screenplay writers, art directors, cinematographers, film editors, costume designers and make-up artists are also potential subject areas for submissions.
Immediately after the Second World War, Italian cinema experienced a surge in popularity in the United States, notably with neorealist classics like Open City (Rossellini, 1945), Obsession (Visconti, 1943), Paisan (Rossellini, 1946) and Bicycle Thieves (De Sica, 1948). After that, Italian cinema witnessed a steady increase in its distribution in American theatres, reaching its zenith in the mid-1960s, enjoying both high success with the public and appreciation from critics. The Academy awarded four Oscars to Vittorio De Sica (Shoeshine, 1948; Bicycle Thieves, 1950; Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow, 1965, The Garden of the Finzi Contini, 1972) and four to Federico Fellini (La strada, 1957; The Nights of Cabiria, 1958; 8, 1964; Amarcord, 1975). The influence and popularity of Italian films extended well beyond auteur films, with historical and mythological epics, such as the Hercules saga (Hercules) (Francisci, 1957); Hercules Unchained (Francisci and Bava, 1959) which achieved flattering results. Although there was a slight decline following its hight (mid-1960s), Italian cinema maintained its relevance, with directors like Luchino Visconti, Michelangelo Antonioni, Sergio Leone and emerging talents such as Bernardo Bertolucci, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Lina Wertmüller and Liliana Cavani. Furthermore, the impact of Italian cinema on American auteurs, including Sam Peckinpah, Quentin Tarantino, Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese, solidified its enduring legacy.
