Abstract
This article provides an in-depth look at the work Italia-Russia: Un secolo di cinema / Italija-Rossija: Vek kino (‘Italy-Russia: A century of cinema’), edited by the authors and published in Italian and in Russian under the auspices of the Embassy of the Republic of Italy in Moscow (ABCDesign and PBN Print, 2020). For the first time ever, the book delves with singular purpose into the cinematographic relationship between the two countries and much more. The volume is divided into four sections: the first centres on ‘exchanges, crossroads, and joint projects’ from the early 1900s until the new millennium; the second concentrates on the Venice and Moscow film festivals; the third looks at ‘portraits, frames, hidden dreams’ and the final section features the ‘memories and points of view’ of some of the most significant figures in Italian and Russian film.
