Hanté par la fi gure de l’artiste espagnol, il consigna par le dessin les diverses ren- contres qu’il put faire en rêve avec le peintre. L’expo- sition « Quand Fellini rêvait de Picasso » à La Cinéma- thèque française s’appuie sur ce dialogue imaginaire pour proposer un parcours à travers les sujets qu’ils chérissaient tant l’un et l’autre : les mythes, la fi gure féminine, la danse ou l’univers forain.

  • The Odyssey of Fellini Kayla Knuth
    ISSUE #1 | JULY 2020 The Odyssey of Fellini Kayla Knuth Making raw cinematic artistry work on the big screen can be extremely challenging, and directors such as Federico Fellini meet that challenge by giving us unique films, each with a clear vision. There are many masterful auteurs within the film industry, but there is something about Fellini’s good-natured style that truly engages me, along with how he incorporates elements of both reality and fantasy in iconic films such as La Strada (1953), La Dolce Vita (1961), and 8 ½ (1963). Not everyone is capable of digging deeper into what the artist is actually saying, and many are too quick to make harsh judgements about what they see rather than what they interpret. This is another reason why his film work interests me. I enjoy the “chase” that helps me provide a deeper analysis of what certain scenes in his films actually symbolize. This makes me pay closer attention to the films, and I find myself rewinding scenes, taking a step back to investigate the meaning of what I’m seeing. Almost all of Fellini’s films feature a dominant protagonist character with qualities to which the audience can at least secretly relate. Some of Fellini’s most striking cinematic moments are memorable because of characters that tend to stick with you even when the films become unclear at times. In addition, the artistry, passion, zest for life, and inven- tiveness on display in his filmmaking help us appreciate a wide range of possibilities for cinematic representation. Aesthetically, Fellini’s films reach for what I will call “ugliness within beauty.” His films seem to ask: is there beauty to be found within ugliness? Or is there ugliness lurking within the beautiful? Fellini attempts to ask these questions through both his striking visuals and sympathetic characters.

Introduction to Italian Cinema I. Italian Cinema from the 1940's to its Golden Period in the 1960's through the 1970's. Films will be viewed in their cultural, aesthetic and/or historical context. Readings and guiding questionnaires will help students develop appropriate viewing skills. Films will be shown in Italian with English subtitles. Graded: Graded Student. Units: 3.0 COURSE GOALS and METHODS: To develop a critical knowledge of Italian film history and film techniques and an aesthetic appreciation for cinema, attain more than a mere acquaintance or a broad understanding of specific artistic (cinematographic) forms, genres, and cultural sources, that is, to learn about Italian civilization (politics, art, theatre and customs) through cinema. Guiding questionnaires will also be distributed on a regular basis to help students achieve these goals. All questionnaires will be graded. Weekly discussions will help students appreciate connections between cinema and art and literary movements, between Italian cinema and American film, as well as to deal with questionnaires. You are required to view the films in the best possible conditions, i.e. on a large screen in class. Viewing may be enjoyable but is not meant to be exclusively entertaining.

    10 JAN 20 5 MAR 20 1 | 10 JAN 20 - 5 MAR 20 88 LOTHIAN ROAD | FILMHOUSECINEMA.COM FILMS WORTH TALKING ABOUT 56 days that will rock your cinema world! Well, here we are again… it’s Awards season! I was reminded of such by a communication that came my way from AMPAS (the Oscar® people) listing nine categories’ shortlists of potential nominees. Now, they’ve been doing that shortlist thing with Foreign Language films for quite some time – there’s a lot of films out there in the world, it would be rather too much for the Academy members to have to watch them all! – but, to my knowledge, they’ve not before done it with any other category. It may be it’s for the same reason of sheer volume as above, but I guess what it also does is allows a greater number of films a reason to mention their Academy Award status in their advertising. I can see it now, “Academy Award Nomination shortlisted…” written on the poster. Where will it all end I wonder, “Academy Award Nomination eligible…”? As luck would have [nothing to do with] it, one of the films on the Foreign Language short list – which at this point in time seems the overwhelming favourite – is Bong Joon Ho’s utterly brilliant Parasite, which takes its place alongside a programme of films that is simplythe best line-up of new cinema I’ve seen in a long time. There’s not just the aforementioned South Korean masterpiece, there’s Sam Mendes’ extraordinary ‘one-take’ wonder 1917 (google ‘1917 behind the scenes featurette’ and prepare to simply have to see this film); Taika (‘Wilderpeople’) Waititi’s WWII, Nazi Germany-set, Jojo Rabbit; Armando Iannucci’s breathless Dickens, The Personal History of David Copperfield; Robert Egger’s uniquely bonkers, fog-bound The Lighthouse; Kidman, Robbie and Theron taking on the Fox News patriarchy in Bombshell; and to cap it all off, and possibly the best of the lot, Céline Sciamma’sexquisite Portrait of a Lady on Fire.

    Vol. 9 (2018) University of Reading ISSN 2040-3461 LANGUAGE STUDIES WORKING PAPERS Editors: S. Payne and R. Leonard Federico Fellini and Il Corriere dei Piccoli: the Influence of “Low” Art on the Director’s Cinematography Christina Cachia The distinguished Italian director Federico Fellini mentions his favourite childhood magazine Il Corriere dei Piccoli on various occasions, yet scholars and critics have not looked further into this connection in order to understand Fellini’s films. Labelled an ‘auteur’ and an ‘artistically distinctive filmmaker’, Fellini is placed in the “high” art tradition, with artistic influences to ma tch. In this essay, I focus instead on the influences from the director’s childhood, which played a particularly influential part in his artistic development. I analyse Fellini’s films with reference to one of his most lasting childhood influences: the comic strips of Il Corriere dei Piccoli. In pointing out various visual, technical and narrative similarities between Fellini’s films and several comic strips found in this important Italian weekly magazine for young readers, I argue that this popular artistic output was inspirational for Fellini and deserves greater attention than it has received in the existing scholarship. 1. Introduction The terms ‘ornate’, ‘extravagant’, ‘flamboyant’, ‘grotesque’ and ‘bizarre’ have been used to describe Federico Fellini’s unique and distinctly personal style of cinematography (Cardullo, 2006: xii); however, the question of his artistic influences remains largely unanswered. There is a scene from Fellini’s I Clowns (1970) that depicts one of the director’s significant childhood memories: the first time he discovered the circus. The scene starts with young Fellini sitting up from his bed, then heading towards his bedroom window as he hears strange noises coming from outside.
