• Member of Advisory Board Lecturer at INALCO University

Luisa Prudentino is a lecturer at INALCO University (Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales), in charge of the history of Chinese cinema since 2008. She is also an active member of the research laboratory called CERLOM (Centre d’étude et de recherche sur les littératures et les oralités du monde) since 2012. Besides, she provides teaching at the Le Havre Sciences Po College at the University of Lorraine in Metz. After graduating at "L'Orientale" at the University of Naples with master's degree, she went to China where she was living for 4 years between 1985 and 1989. Her stay in Shanghai made her realise that ​a new cinematography ​was actually arising in China. Back to Italy, she runs the first film festival devoted to contemporary Chinese cinema. She wrote many papers and essays about cinema and, in 2003, she published Le Regard des ombres (Shadows’ Eyes), her first book which was completely devoted to contemporary Chinese cinema.
