Michele Guerra

I was born in 1982 and I am an Associate Professor of Cinema at the University of Parma (Italy). I am the author of "Il meccanismo indifferente. La concezione della Storia nel cinema di Stanley Kubrick" (Roma, 2007), "Gli ultimi fuochi. Cinema italiano e mondo contadino dal fascismo agli anni Settanta" (Roma, 2010), and "Lo schermo empatico. Cinema e neuroscienze (2015, with Vittorio Gallese). Also I edited "Sequenze. Quaderni di cinema 1949-1951" (2009), "Le immagini tradotte. Usi Passaggi Trasformazioni" (2011, with a Preface by Linda Hutcheon), and "Invenzioni dal vero. Discorsi sul neorealismo". Recently I’ve been the curator of the Italian edition of Victor O. Freeburg’s “The Art of Photoplay Making” and of Torben Grodal’s “Embodied Visions”. In 2011 I've been the recipient of a fellowship from the Center for the Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) at Stanford University on "Cognitive Science and Neuroscience for the Humanities”. I am an Associate Editor of “Fata Morgana” and the editor of the film and communication series “Pandora” (Diabasis Editore).
