In doing so, it also \u2018inherited\u2019 its colonies: Eritrea, Libya and Somalia. Mussolini soon turned his expansionist sights on the only independent country in Africa: Ethiopia. Through a virulent propaganda campaign, fascism reached the height of its domestic popularity precisely on the promise of conquering Ethiopia by military force and creating its own colonial empire. Expansionist ambitions, white supremacy and economic exploitation were the sinister mirages fuelling this propaganda machine, of which cinema was a fundamental driving force. From the earliest films of big-game hunting in Africa, through those shot by Italian missionaries in Eritrea in the early 1920s, to the films that prepared the ground for and then depicted the colonisation of Ethiopia in 1935\u201336, *Un ritorno* traces the origins and creation of a colonial visual imagination: racist, violent and profoundly Italian.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator sep_color=”color-855811″ uncode_shortcode_id=”160454″ sep_color_type=”uncode-palette” el_height=”10″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”848077″]Archives<\/strong>: <\/span>The core of the film collection consists of colonial-themed material relating to East Africa, held in the Istituto Luce archive. This comprises primarily newsreels and documentaries shot between the early 1920s and the late 1930s by Istituto Luce itself or by other producers, which were subsequently incorporated into the Istituto Luce archive. The first category includes, in particular, films shot by the East Africa Section (A.O.I.). The second category comprises films by the Capuchin friars in Eritrea, animated films by INCOM, and those by the Italian Navy. Other private film archives include those held at the CSC-Archivio Nazionale Cinema Impresa, Home Movies \u2013 Archivio Nazionale del Film di Famiglia di Bologna, and Cinescatti in Bergamo. Sound archives recorded in the former A.O.I. or recordings of official speeches and popular music tracks are held in various locations, but primarily at Istituto Centrale per i Beni Sonori ed Audiovisivi.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator sep_color=”color-855811″ uncode_shortcode_id=”641202″ sep_color_type=”uncode-palette” el_height=”10″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image media=”11168″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”465669″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”103808″]Federico Ferrone, Michele Manzolini<\/strong><\/p>\n
