Emilio Audissino (below) is a senior lecturer in audio-visual production at Linnaeus University. He is the author of Film/Music Analysis: A Film Studies Approach.

He has described himself on line as I am an author, film-maker, screenwriter, and film academic. With a specialism in film analysis and screenwriting, and two PhDs in Film History and Theory, I can say I’m a veritable “script doctor.” I published extensively on Hollywood cinema, horror, comedy, and film music, and I’m renowned world-wide as the pioneering scholar who wrote the first English book on composer John Williams – John Williams’s Film Music (2014).

As a film-maker and screenwriter I have worked in production companies in Milan, Italy, and as a freelancer for documentaries and commercials. I wrote and directed the fiction shorts Davanti al mare [At Sea] (2004), La Dolce Eleonora e L’amaro Calice [Sweet Eleonora and the Bitter Cup] (2007) and Yoshiwara Club (2008), a horror extravaganza that was selected for the 61st edition of the “Cannes Film Festival”, and was screened at other festivals such as the “Genoa Film Festival” (Genoa, Italy), the “TOHORROR Film Festival” (Turin, Italy), the “Joe D’Amato Horror Film Festival” (Lucca, Italy), the “ShockerFest” (Modesto, CA, USA) and the “Spooky Movie Festival” (Washington DC, USA). As a screenwriter, I’m currently working on the development of the European comedy/drama TV series Blu Riviera.
