Italian Cinema Forum Workshop 4: The Godfather

This cinema workshop continues to look at the way Italian and non-Italian filmmakers have represented Italians in the diaspora, focusing on the most popular and most controversial film about italianità of all time, Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather (1972). Selected clips from the movie will be shown during the forum as a basis for group discussion. For a more engaging conversation, watch the full movie beforehand. The convenor, Dr Mark Nicholls, is Senior Lecturer in Cinema Studies at the University of Melbourne, where he has taught film since 1993. Mark has worked as a film journalist for ABC Radio and The Age, and has a list of over 20 stage credits as a playwright, performer, producer and director.
