Italian Cinema Audiences

Italian Cinema Audiences was a collaborative research project exploring cinema audiences in Italy in the 1950s funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC). This collection shares the videos that were taken of interviews with elderly Italians about their experiences of cinema in the 1940s and 1950s.
