El2012 - wow we just studied neorealism in italian cinema, it was amazing! probably the best area we've studied all through vce italian XD I mean the whole italian cinema topic.
Anyone else who is doing italian immigration, any ideas? I want to do something a bit more original.
Actually, I'm not really sure about the detailed study at all because our teacher hasn't said much.. how do you pick a subtopic? I know in the past students did proxy brides... I can't think of anything else.
Could possible subtopics be like... change in the role of women after immigration?
(Also does italian immigration have to be to australia? :S)
I realise that no one who has posted so far would prob be able to answer these questions, but I'd be grateful for any thoughts! :)

By the way, it's quite possible to include some stuff on italian neorealism in your oral (since it's based on ww2 which was the main influence for immigration)

Well the thing is with detailed study, you can steer the conversation into whatever direction you want to. They might be like, what are the causes of the immigration, and you might say something like world war 2 or something and then go on and say, what I personally found interesting was that not only was ww2 a cause for immigration but it also influenced a number of movies during that time in italy, under the concept of italian neorealism (and then say a couple of points here). Of course, try not to keep all the conversation based on neorealism (since it's not your topic), but things like this will keep the examiners interested because it's not solely focused on italian immigration. You may even like to watch one film on italian neorealism, to provide a few points on how directors weren't conforming to the old hollywood style movies, but rather it was almost a complete reflection on the italian life at the time post ww2. (I have a couple of names of films if you want them)

I quoted ladri di biciclette for one of my movies, it's a great one. Also 'rome, open city', la strada (also another movie I referenced). Other's i've heard: Il bidone, riso amaro, miracolo a milano, paisa', Sciuscià. Also see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Italian_neorealist_films
But don't derail too much off immigration :P
