Publisher Description Ruth Ben-Ghiat provides the first in-depth study of feature and documentary films produced under the auspices of Mussolinis government that took as their subjects or settings Italys African and Balkan colonies. These "empire films" were Italys entry into an international market for the exotic. The films engaged its most experienced and cosmopolitan directors (Augusto Genina, Mario Camerini) as well as new filmmakers (Roberto Rossellini) who would make their marks in the postwar years. Ben-Ghiat sees these films as part of the aesthetic development that would lead to neo-realism.
