Going back "home": Italian cinema, contemporary mobility and the Mediterranean”
Cinema in Italy, still dominated by "native' filmmakers, faces the increasing mobility of cultures and people.

Individuals affectionate connections with landscapes and human beings, as well as references to stories of previous migrations, help in making sense of the present transformations.
