Dr Russ Hunter will be leading us on a journey through the phenomenon of the giallo for this very special presentation on this year’s festival theme. Russ will be tracing its journey from early beginnings as Italian pulp crime fiction novels through to its life as a film genre in its own right. With the iconic black gloved killer, stylish killings, kinky sex and an impossible-to-guess murder mystery, the giallo has most certainly earned its place as a respected sub-genre of Italian cinema, and made for a slew of wildly entertaining movies at the same time!
