Leonardo Gandini is associate professor of History and Criticism of Cinema at the University of Trento and lecturer in Iconography of Cinema at DAMS in Bologna. He has written essays and monographs on film noir, classic and contemporary Hollywood cinema, film direction and urban imagery in films. He collaborates with the magazines Panoramiche and Cineforum. His most recent work, edited together with Andrea Bellavita, is entitled Ventuno per Undici; in this work the films become the starting point for a careful analysis of the narrative, visual and distributive upheavals that cinema has undergone following the events of September 11th. Always attentive to the evolutions and close relationships between current reality and the seventh art, Gandini addresses the theme of the evolution of the concept of narrativity in the contemporary panorama in light of the intertextual intersections between cinema, television and new media.
