Gli accordi Anica-Mpea e l’impiego dei capitali americani nel nostro cinema / Parte 2 – Dal finanziamento dei film al finanziamento dell’Anica

Abstract

The agreements between the industrial and trade organizations ANICA and MPAA/MPEA regulated Italian-American film relations between 1951 and 1962, promoting the growth of “Runaway productions” and joint productions in Italy, but also supporting the distribution of Italian films abroad by US companies. The article, based on extensive archival research, reconstructs for the first time the development and implementation of these agreements, also following the paths of American money in Italian cinema.
