The Museum of Arts and Design presents the film series
Zombo Italiano: The Italian Zombie Film Movement, 1972 – 1985
in conjunction with its acclaimed exhibition Dead or Alive.
The film series Zombo Italiano: The Italian Zombie Film Movement will run from July 8 through July 29 at MAD, located at 2 Columbus Circle in New York City. The MAD Theater will screen 10 works by a generation of directors, some celebrated, some obscure, who through their pioneering special effects pushed the boundaries of low-culture and gore to deal brutally and humorously with the body at its most material, while offering a grotesque but poetic vision of nature and humanity. The films include cult classics by Lamberto Bava, Jorge Grau, Lucio Fulci, Pier Paolo Pasolini, George A. Romero, and Michele Soavi. On the evenings of July 8 and 9, Roger Ma and the Zombie Combat Club will provide a pre-film demonstration of essential combat skills for surviving encounters with the living dead. Among the subjects covered will be: anatomy, weapons, martial techniques, and common misconceptions concerning how to confront a ravenous walking corpse.
