LOVE MEETINGS (COMIZI D'AMORE)
WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY PIER PAOLO PASOLINI
Appropriating Jean Rouch's cinéma verité tactics from Chronicle of a Summer (1961), Pasolini traveled across Italy to investigate the petite bourgeoisie's attitudes about "the problem of sex." Love Meetings captures Italy as a country on the verge of sexual revolution and presents a fascinating period-specific example of political documentary filmmaking. 1964, Italy, BW, 35mm, in Italian with English subtitles, 90 minutes.

BEFORE AND AFTER THE REVOLUTION: ITALIA ANNI 1962-1972 WAS PROGRAMMED IN COLLABORATION WITH SCUOLA NAZIONALE DI CINEMA-CINETECA NAZIONALE, ROME.
