Effects of the invention in the modern world

Cinema, literature and art: Futurism In futurism the cinema is analyzed like independent means of expression with remarkable possibilities. Giacomo Balla “Velocità in motocicletta” 1913/1914

U. Boccioni “Forme uniche della continuità nello spazio” G. Balla “Bambina che corre sul balcone” 1912 The experiences of the futurists in the cinema can be connected to the requirement to pick dynamics of the modern times, the movement, the simultaneity, the speed of which the contemporary life it is impregnated.

The Manifest of the 1909 prefigure a cinematographic realization of the provocations already put into effect by futurist with the poetry and theatre: chaotic collision, full freedom from every logical and coherent use; cinema as natural evolution of the painting.

Cinema, literature and art: Neorealism The Neorealism has been a movement developed between 1940 and 1950 that has been expressed above all in novelistic and cinema, particularly in Italy. The neorealists were much influenced by the French poetic realism.

The neorealist cinema is characterized by stories acclimatized between the poor working classes, with long camera takes to the open, often on the background of the war devastations, and often some characters were portrayed by non-actors.

To teach and to learn with the cinema Considering that the children from the most tender age are exposed to images in motion in the schools for decades many initiatives about cinema have been done.

There are three typologies of participation: 1)The vision of films without any analysis 2)Initiatives like matinees in the cinemas in which films are used to start reflections and arguments on several thematic 3)Production of a video with the operators and teacher help. “media literacy“

Newsreel The newsreel is a short film about the present time and information projected in the cinemas before the beginning of the show and characterized by a fast rhythm of the reportages.

The newsreel was invented in France in 1907 diffusing itself in all Europe and the USA. During the second World War it became a powerful instrument of propaganda in all the totalitarian regimes. It disappeared progressively from the cinemas in the course of the 70 s, when the television became a mass media.

In Italy the newsreel of the post-war period diffused new social models of behaviour and represents a more effective vehicle of information than the printed publication paper. The Italian newsreel historically more meaningful and important is represented by that one produced by the Luce Institute between 1927 and 1945.

Globalization could be defined like a reduction of the distances (spatial, cultural, etc. . . ). The cinema has contributed to globalization diffusing behaviours, ideals, lifestyles and conforming the world-wide culture.
