Furthering my education: my PhD programme in Film and Screen Media

  • Davide Abbatescianni
I am planning to relocate to Cork, Ireland very soon, in order to further my film and media education at PhD level.
I've been granted the College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Sciences Excellence Scholarship of University College Cork.
I can't wait to start my PhD! Here you can find a short description of my research:
The Cinemas of PIIGS: A New Wave Beyond the Great Recession
My project is the first to investigate the effects of Great Recession on the cinemas of the most indebted European countries known as PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain) and to explore key research questions regarding its impact on film narratives, aesthetic/ideological choices, production processes, and cinematic techniques.
