Previously, he held a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at the University of Bari, contributing to projects "Reframing Italian Film Festivals" and "A Regional Archipelago" (ArcReg). His educational background includes a PhD in Film Studies from the University of St Andrews (Scotland, UK) completed in 2022, supported by the AD Links Foundation and the Russell Trust. His doctoral research critically examined how European film festivals have shaped cultural hierarchies and narratives of cinematic modernity. Gelardi's research focuses on the cultural history of cinema with particular emphasis on Third World political cinema, film festival cultures, and the relationship between cinema and urbanization. His work combines archival investigation with theoretical approaches from film festival studies and cultural history to explore the interplay between festival culture, transnational film networks, and postcolonial cinematic expressions. He investigates how film festivals function as sites of cultural diplomacy and canon formation, particularly in the Italian context. His recent publications reveal a consistent trajectory examining how film festivals, especially Italian ones, have mediated the discovery and canonization of Third World and political cinemas. His work traces the historical transformation of film festivals from politically engaged platforms in the 1960s to key promoters of global "world cinema," analyzing programming strategies that influence film production, circulation, and reception across geopolitical boundaries. AD Links Foundation support during doctoral studies Russell Trust support during doctoral studies As a postdoctoral researcher, Gelardi collaborates on grant-funded projects related to film history and festival studies. His current project at the Bibliotheca Hertziana explores cinema's relationship with urban transformations in postwar Italy (1950-1968), examining how Italian cinema mediated and represented profound changes in urban landscapes. His previous work at the University of Bari focused on the historical development and cultural significance of Italian film festivals from the mid-20th century.
