Futurism and early cinema shared a fascination with dynamic movement and speed, presenting both as harbingers of an emerging new way of life and new aesthetic criteria. And the Futurists quickly latched on to cinema as a device with great potential to manipulate our perceptions in order to create a new world. In the edited collection Futurist Cinema, Rossella Catanese explores that conjunction, bringing in avant-garde artists and their manifestos to show how painters and other artists turned to cinema as a model for overcoming the inherently static nature of painting in order to rethink it for a new era.
Rossella Catanese (PhD) is an associate professor at the University of Tuscia, Viterbo, Italy, and adjunct professor at NYU Florence. Her publications focus on avant-garde, experimental cinema, found footage, film heritage, and film restoration. She also received the Sixth Marcel Duchamp Research Grant from the Staatliches Museum Schwerin, Germany (2023).
