As the scene of his activity, Rav first chose Nehardea, where the exilarch appointed him agoranomos, or market-master, and Rabbi Shela made him lecturer ( amora ) of his college ( Jerusalem Talmud Bava Batra v. 15a ; Yoma, 20b ).

In the Babylonian Talmud ( Bava Batra 14B ) Moses writes the first Torah Scroll on the unsplit cow-hide called gevil.

In 1960, Bava directed Black Sunday, a gothic horror film and his first solo directorial effort, which made a genre star out of Barbara Steele.

Bava directed what is now regarded as the first Italian giallo film, The Girl Who Knew Too Much ( 1963 ), and his 1965 sci-fi horror film Planet of the Vampires was a thematic precursor to Alien ( 1979 ).

In 1980, he wrote the screenplay for Macabro ( Frozen Terror, or Macabre ), the first movie directed by Lamberto Bava.

After working for 15 years as a personal assistant, assistant director and screenwriter with his famous father ( he first assisted him on Planet of the Vampires in 1965 ), Lamberto Bava worked as an assistant director with Dario Argento ( on Inferno and Tenebrae ) and with Ruggero Deodato ( on the notorious Jungle Holocaust and Cannibal Holocaust ).

( His father Mario Bava lived just long enough to see his son's first solo directorial effort Macabre in 1980, commenting " Now I can die happy ".

Dario Argento hired Lamberto Bava to direct the first two films in his Demons series, but the third film in the series was directed by Michele Soavi instead of Bava.

He was one of the first Italian directors to get involved in the giallo film craze ( along with Mario Bava and Dario Argento ), and his jungle adventure Man From Deep River is credited as being the film that started the Italian cannibal film genre later popularized by Ruggero Deodato, Jess Franco and others.

This was not the first time Bava had been able to save a troubled movie for Marathon < nowiki >'</ nowiki > s production company, Galatea Film.

* Italian director and cinematographer Mario Bava was born in Sanremo in 1914.

Mario Bava ( 31 July 1914 – 25 April 1980 ) was an Italian director, screenwriter, special effects artist and cinematographer, remembered as one of the greatest names from the " golden age " of Italian horror films, and is considered to have kick-started the giallo film genre.

Several books have been published about Mario Bava: Mario Bava by Pascal Martinet ( Edilig, 1984 ) and Mario Bava edited by Jean-Louis Leutrat ( Éditions du Céfal, 1994 ) in French ; Mario Bava by Alberto Pezzotta ( Il Castoro Cinema, 1995 ) in Italian ; The Haunted Worlds of Mario Bava by Troy Howarth ( FAB Press, 2002 ) and most recently, the massive critical biography Mario Bava: All the Colors of the Dark by Tim Lucas ( Video Watchdog, 2007 ; ISBN 0-9633756-1-X ).

After completing work on his Bava magnum opus, Lucas ended his decade-long hiatus from fiction with The Book of Renfield: A Gospel of Dracula ( 2005, ISBN 0-7432-4354-4 ), a complement to Bram Stoker's Dracula that focuses on the character of Renfield and how the circumstances of his tragic past predisposed him to become the ideal pawn for the Lord of the Undead.

Sometimes dismissed as low-quality escapist fare, the Peplums allowed newer directors such as Sergio Leone and Mario Bava, a means of breaking into the film industry.

He claimed that Sachetti later allowed director Lamberto Bava to direct the project ( under the title Per Sempre / Until Death ) in 1987 without Fulci's knowledge that the film was even being made.

Bava was originally hired as the cinematographer, but when Freda walked out on the project midway through production, Bava completed the film in several days, even creating the innovative special effects that were needed.

Bava retired in 1978 after co-directing his last horror film, Shock, with his son Lamberto ( although he did some special effects matte work on Dario Argento's 1980 movie Inferno ).

Mario Bava's son Lamberto Bava worked for fourteen years as Bava's assistant director, and went on to become a horror film director on his own.

Lamberto Bava ( born 3 April 1944 ) is an Italian film director, specializing in horror, giallo and fantasy films.

Bava also helped to write the 3rd " Demons " film, The Church, which was later directed for Argento by Michele Soavi.

In 1987, as an entry in the " Brivido Giallo " TV series, Bava directed Until Death, an unofficial sequel to Peter Medak's 1980 haunted house film, The Changeling.

Reportedly, famed Italian horror director Lucio Fulci was furious when he learned that Bava directed this film, since he had understood that he was slated to direct it with the project's screenwriter Dardano Sacchetti.

Bava then went on to direct the Italian made-for-TV fantasy film Fantaghirò, which has since spawned four sequels.
