The Bicycle Thief was considered the first neorealist film due to its documentary style of filming on location with non-professional actors and loose plot focused on the lives of ordinary people. It had a very low budget, was filmed in Italy directly after World War 2 and told the story of a man trying to provide for his family. The film went on to win the Grand Prize at Cannes and helped establish neorealism as an important film movement through its gritty portrayal of post-war struggles and escape from conventional studio filmmaking.

Expressionism was an artistic movement in early 20th century Germany that sought to communicate strong emotional feelings through visual artworks. Expressionist artists used techniques like distorted lines, geometric shapes, shadows, and dramatic colors to convey emotion. Common subject matters in Expressionist works included death, starvation, and other dark and sad themes. Some notable Expressionist artists mentioned include Kathe Kollwitz, Edvard Munch, Max Beckman, and Ernst Kirchner. Expressionism also influenced early expressionistic films, which were dark, creepy, and unpredictable, using stylistic techniques to create an unsettling atmosphere. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari was cited as one of the first expressionistic films due to its useFilm & Reality

The document discusses the debate around realism versus anti-realism in film. It covers several theorists and their perspectives, such as Siegfried Kracauer arguing that film is uniquely capable of mirroring reality, and Bazin viewing the camera's ability to capture reality as satisfying a human desire. The document also discusses figures like Deren who blended reality and fantasy, and Brakhage who aimed to liberate the eye from conventions. It questions if mechanical reproduction alone constitutes art, and examines how concepts like realism have evolved, especially with innovations like CGI.Classical film study

Italian neorealism started after World War 2 as a desire for social progress. Films like Rome, Open City documented ordinary peoples' emotions without studios or lighting. It used non-professional actors and location shooting to portray post-war struggles. The movement declined in the 1950s but influenced directors globally like Satyajit Ray and Ken Loach, showing that authentic stories don't need expensive production.Impressionist art

Impressionism began in Paris in the 1860s as artists attempted to capture moments in time through short, thick brush strokes of unmixed paint applied wet-on-wet to depict natural light and shadows. While initially unpopular for its lack of detail, Impressionism gained acceptance by the 1880s and featured artists such as Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, and Sisley painting outdoors. Pointillism developed from Impressionism using dots of pure color instead of brush strokes to create shimmering effects.Brooklyn lesson plan- Mark Rothko's Subway

German Expressionism was an artistic style in early 20th century Germany that depicted subjective emotions rather than objective reality through techniques like distortion, exaggeration, and fantasy. Expressionist artists explored dramatic and emotional themes using expressive color and line. The style was notable for its harshness and boldness, aiming to convey mental states through disconnected and distorted sets. While it captured the suffering of post-WWI Germany, Expressionism declined in the 1920s and its artists moved to Hollywood as the style lost popularity.Auteur Theory (TV Y1)

Documentary film began in 1895 with the short, unedited films of the Lumiere brothers capturing scenes of daily life. The first feature-length documentary was Nanook of the North in 1922, which staged scenes for dramatic effect. Direct Cinema in the 1960s aimed to present events objectively and verite-style, though editing still allowed control. Mockumentaries later exposed how documentaries can fake reality through conventions like voiceover, experts, and realistic techniques. Various modes include expository, observational, participatory, reflexive, and performative styles.Introduction to documentary2

Italian Neorealism emerged after World War 2 and was characterized by stories about the poor filmed on location using non-professional actors. The Bicycle Thieves exemplified these traits by casting a factory worker in the lead role and filming on location with a documentary style. Some key features of Neorealism films included location shooting, a focus on the lower classes, natural dialogue, and a documentary aesthetic. The French New Wave similarly shot on location with available light and recorded sound on set rather than in a studio. Example films included Breathless, The 400 Blows, and Paris Belongs to Us directed by Jean-Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, and Jacques Rivette respectively.Italian neorealism 2019 new

This document discusses the neorealistic stylistic elements in Luis Bu単uel's 1950 film Los olvidados. It introduces concepts of Italian neorealism cinema and examines how Bu単uel incorporated some of these elements through the use of real locations in Mexico City slums, unknown actors, a focus on social issues faced by marginalized characters, and a documentary-like shooting and narrative style. Key films like Bicycle Thieves are referenced as examples of the neorealism style, though the document notes Bu単uel adapted these techniques to his own artistic ends rather than following the movement strictly.Please watch ONE of the following filmsItalian Neorealism 油

After World War 2, Italy was in extreme poverty due to war damages and losing 1% of its population. People had to sell basic possessions just to afford necessities. Children worked to help support families. Essentials like water were rationed due to shortages. The people turned to religion for hope and assistance with basic needs. Unemployment was rampant as people desperately sought any job available to survive in the poor economic conditions following the war and Italy's alliance with Germany.Ad

Editor's Notes
- #3: Open endingsReal locationsFor major rolOften hand heldUse of natural light
- #7: First true masterpiecePeter Bondanella film stock bough on the black market,postsynchonization of sound avoid labatoryexpenses,limeted financial backingRossellini shot mostly outdoors amidst the destruction of the war to attempt to portray the most realistic story possible.
- #9: A movie Visconti pushes the realism moreAt the height of neorealism, in 1948, Luchino Visconti adapted I malavoglia, a novel by 油Giovanni Verga, written at the height of the 19th century realist verismo movement (in many ways the basis for neorealism), bringing the story to a modern setting, which 油resulted in remarkably little change in either the plot or the tone. The resulting film, La 油Terra trema, (The Earth Trembles) starred only non-professional actors and was filmed in 油the same village (AciTrezza) as the novel was set in. Because the local dialect differed 油so much from the Italian spoken in Rome and the other major cities, the film had to be 油subtitled even in its domestic release
- #10: Protagonist is not finding the right way in the endThe story is very minimalist, following a man But the execution of the story provides a very realistic look at the conditions of post-war Italyhe lead actor, Maggiorani, was a factory worker before getting the role. All the scenes were shot on location, giving an even more realistic feel to the filmYet it is Vittorio De Sica who is responsible for the most famousand most popularfilm of neo-realism:油Bicycle Thieves. Carlo Celli described it as the canonical film of the neorealist period For Gallagher, the success of油Bicycle Thieves油solidified the tendency to think of neo-realism as social realism油(26)油rather than a stylistically radical call to liberty
