Luciano Emmer belongs to the record of cinema as a figure whose work outlasted the productions that carried it.
The record lists Luciano Emmer as Italian film director and screenwriter (1918–2009).
Luciano Emmer was born at Milan in 1918. His recorded nationality is Italy.
The studio system was at its height in this period: contracts were long, the output was industrial, and a handful of studios decided who worked.
He worked as film director, screenwriter and film editor.
His best-known work is High School. Film is a collaborative art in which individual credit is always contested and occasionally deserved.
Recognition followed: Order of Merit of the Italian Republic and Golden Globe Awards.
That the work was made from Italy shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Luciano Emmer died in 2009, aged 91. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
