The City of Milan Department of Culture brings Emile de Antonio’s works to Italy for the first time

America Puzzle: The Cinema of Emile de Antonio
November 24 - 29, 2009

Screening times available from the Official Website

Emile de Antonio (1919-1989) was a documentary filmmaker that described the social reality of the United States leading the 60s to late 80s, and a key figure in four decades of American culture: Andy Warhol, who also did a movie with his character, said de Antonio "everything I learned about painting, I learned from him." His filmography paints a perfect portrait of America, its history and its protagonists.
The retrospective will be a premium - the first integral in Italy - to his work and his figure.

Titles include: POINT OF ORDER, IN THE YEAR OF THE PIG, RUSH TO JUDGEMENT, AMERICA IS HARD TO SEE, PAINTERS PAINTING, MILLHOUSE: A WHITE COMEDY, UNDERGROUND

In collaboration with: Film Library of Bologna, Ente Show Free Cinema, Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Turin.
