The film festival focuses on the role played by women in Mafias - something which Dr Felia Allum (PoLIS) is researching. After its first virtual edition in 2021, the Donne di Mafia film festival, organised by Dr Felia Allum, returns in April as an in-person event. Forget everything you think you know about the Mafia from having watched -The Godfather-. A new film festival, screening in London in early April, hopes to recast the misunderstood role played by women in Italian Mafias. Organised by CinemaItalia and Italian political specialists from the University of Bath's Department of Politics, Languages & International Studies, -Donne di Mafia- (Women of the Mafia), will showcase two documentary films that seek to unpack the complex relationships between gender and organised crime. The event is the brainchild of organised crime specialist at Bath, Dr Felia Allum whose work explores the dynamics of different Mafias, most notably the Camorra in Naples. Felia is the author of the award-winning book -The Invisible Camorra- and is currently undertaking a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship focused on women, crime and culture.
