This essay aims to reflect on the elements of mutation within the Italian cinema of the last ten years, analyzing above all the directorial ability of different generations of filmmakers: the modes of production that are behind the dynamics of the mise en scene, the gender issue that gives new strength to the interpretation of the world, the presence of Italian cinema in international festivals, the models of the great masters, the irruption of "cinema of the real" and "out of the ordinary" cinema. The underlying problem Is the gap between the film texts and the film industry: on the one hand, the audiovisual sector continues to experience a crisis more than thirty years old, exacerbated by the pandemic and the platforms; on the other hand, the films produced show a great quality, both In low budget and independent cinema, and - at least in pan — in mainstream cinema. You can identify a "stil novo", it not a "nouvelle vague" of contemporary Italian film, made up of a directorial awareness, a visionary ability married with the urgency to grasp the real, a different gaze towards the world that can be analyzed through some stylistic constants (camera movements, cinematography, framing, acting and casting, locations, directorial sensibey).
