Great to see that Fiume o Morte! won Best Documentary at the recent European Film Awards. Worth watching for how it shows nationalism as something staged, messy, and oddly theatrical.

Just published a piece on the UWE Digital Learning blog on using commercial videogames to help students grapple with complexity, perspective-taking, and decision-making in Politics & IR (and beyond). #GameBasedLearning #HigherEd #IR #Pedagogy #EdTech digitallearning.uwe.ac.uk/unlocking-th...

Just reviewed Fiume o Morte! @e-international.bsky.social — a sharp, darkly comic documentary on the 1919 occupation of Fiume and the power of nationalist myth-making. A great watch for anyone interested in nationalism, the post-WWI period, or the politics of memory. www.e-ir.info/2025/12/03/r...

Review - Fiume o Morte!
Irreverent and incisive, Fiume o Morte! reimagines D’Annunzio’s Fiume venture, exposing the theatrical roots of nationalist politics and the contested memories left behind.
