Primed Real Estate: Film Producers and Land Development.

Karl Schoonover and Barbara Corsi discuss a shared history of film financing and real estate redevelopment that they discovered in the archives of Italian cinema production during the 1950s and 1960s. The dialogue between Schoonover and Corsi proposes a crucial reframing of Italy's 'economic miracle,' and in doing so, exposes how the business of property inflected stardom, the depiction of landscape, tourist films, and cinema aesthetics.
