Hello and welcome back! This is everything about early Italian films that we didn’t cover in the last two episodes. That means we talk a little about how Italian studios were run throughout the 1910’s,  Important actors not playing Maciste, influential directors (including another of the most prolific women of early film),and a film movement: Futurism. We talk about the movement’s origin, and it's only surviving film – Thaïs – and how it, and the whole Italian film industry, entered a decline throughout the 1920’s.
