distribution (and his final film The Voice of the Moon remains unsubtitled), we are pleased to present this selection of fifteen films by the man they called il maestro, comprising some of the most compelling and original visions of the late twentieth century. January 20 marked the 97th birthday of Federico Fellini, the influential Italian filmmaker celebrated for his fantastical perspective, surreal style. While, sadly, aВ number of FelliniвЂ™s films have fallen out of U.S. He received five Oscars and is considered a champion of unbridled individualism, the absolute freedom of the creator. Influenced early in his career by the Neorealist movement, he developed his own distinctive methods that superimposed dreamlike or hallucinatory imagery upon ordinary situations. After both 1979s Prova dOrchestra and 1980s La Citta delle Donne also proved unsuccessful, Fellini turned to publishing with Fare un Film, an anthology of notes about his life and work. Federico Fellini, (born January 20, 1920, Rimini, Italydied October 31, 1993, Rome), Italian film director who was one of the most celebrated and singular filmmakers of the period after World War II. FelliniвЂ™s collaboration with his wife, actress Giulietta Masina, resulted in several profound inquiries into the female psyche, particularly in La Strada (1954), Nights of Cabiria (1956), and Juliet of the Spirits (1965). Federico Fellini is one of the most admired directors of Italian cinema and film history worldwide. After acting in Paul Mazurskys Alex in Wonderland and Ettore Scolas Ceravamo Tanto Amati, he shot 1976s Il Casanova di Federico Fellini, which found favor only in Japan. His later work is characterized by its increasingly fantastic, oneiric vision, embodied in such masterpieces as 8 1/2 (1963) and Fellini Satyricon (1969). In his own early films, he combined the photographic authenticity of Italian neorealism with subtle humor and aВ poetic sensibility. Beginning as aВ gag writer in 1939, Fellini progressed to script writing and soon began assisting prominent Italian filmmakers such as Roberto Rossellini. Starting his career as an avid journalist and cartoonist specializing in caricatures, it wasnt until after the downfall of Mussolini. Federico Fellini was one of the great Neo-Surrealistic Italian Film makers with a career spanning four decades.

Inspired by the recent release of new prints of the classic Nights of Cabiria, Juliet of the Spirits, and Fellini Satyricon, as well as by the availability of aВ wonderful new documentary portrait, we seize the moment to pay tribute once again to the inimitable Federico Fellini (1920вЂ“1993). Federico Fellini (1920 - 1993) was active/lived in Italy.
