The year 2020 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of the great film-maker Federico Fellini (1920-2020). The official programme will commemorate and disseminate Fellini’s genius and heritage with a series of events held both in Italy and abroad.
The BFI rounds off a two-month centenary celebration of the renowned Italian filmmaker with a special focus on aspects of his work he is arguably most famous for – the world of dreams and autobiography. These films span almost 35 years in the director’s career and include some of his best-known pictures, including the seminal film-about-film 8½ and the Oscar-winning Amarcord. Fellini himself is a compelling presence in front of the camera, most memorably in The Clowns, Roma and Intervista, where the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction become ever more fluid. The retrospective also includes Il Bidone and a programme of the director’s contributions to anthology films – little jewels offering further proof of Fellini’s fleet-flooted imagination.
