The Moving Image and Historical Amnesia: Trieste, Italian Cinema and the Creative Remediation of Silenced History

The thesis presents a case of silenced history and its mediation in the film form. It is composed of three sections: a history of the Italian cinema and television production that portrayed Trieste and its history between 1909 and 2010; the exploration of the key theories, archival research, and previous film productions that influenced the development process of three films presenting the author’s creative practice, here included; and the critical reflection on the creative practice, in a dialogue with the research in the history of Italian cinema and relevant key theories.
