Cinegiornale

In Italian with English subtitles. These films, like the American Newsreels, have been made by young politically militant film makers as an auxiliary of the revolutionary student movement in Italy. They take a documentary point of view, they cover all the activities of the Italian student movement throughout the country and present the tactical and political positions adopted by the movement in a way which normal news coverage would not permit. These films are of special interest not only because the student movement in Italy (which received little or no coverage in the English press) was thriving before the Paris movement, but also because they contain some extraordinary footage of the various battles with police and fascists.
