A tribute to Lucio Fulci: two nights of Italian horror and thriller

The Department of Italian and the MA in Film Studies at the University of Malta are celebrating the Italian film-maker with a talk and screening on May 7 and 8

The Department of Italian and the MA in Film Studies, both within the Faculty of Arts at the University of Malta, are paying tribute to Itailan director Lucio Fulci’s visionary and provocative talent through two closely linked events. 

Owing to often limited budgets, tight production schedules, and the genres and subgenres he explored, the work of Fulci (1927-1996) has long been overlooked by critics and academics.

For decades, he was regarded, at best, as a resourceful craftsman. Nevertheless, figures such as Quentin Tarantino, Sam Raimi and Clive Barker – all instrumental in legitimising genre cinema – have consistently expressed admiration for his work.
