  • La Cultura Italiana
    LA CULTURA ITALIANA FEDERICO FELLINI (1920-1993) This month’s essay continues a theme that several prior essays discussed concerning fa- mous Italian film directors of the post-World War II era. We earlier discussed Neorealism as the film genre of these directors. The director we are considering in this essay both worked in that genre and carried it beyond its limits to develop an approach that moved Neoreal- ism to a new level. Over the decades of the latter-half of the 20th century, his films became increasingly original and subjective, and consequently more controversial and less commercial. His style evolved from Neorealism to fanciful Neorealism to surrealism, in which he discarded narrative story lines for free-flowing, free-wheeling memoirs. Throughout his career, he focused on his per- sonal vision of society and his preoccupation with the relationships between men and women and between sex and love. An avowed anticleric, he was also deeply concerned with personal guilt and alienation. His films are spiced with artifice (masks, masquerades and circuses), startling faces, the rococo and the outlandish, the prisms through which he sometimes viewed life. But as Vincent Canby, the chief film critic of The New York Times, observed in 1985: “What’s important are not the prisms, though they are arresting, but the world he shows us: a place whose spectacularly grand, studio-built artificiality makes us see the interior truth of what is taken to be the ‘real’ world outside, which is a circus.” In addition to his achievements in this regard, we are also con- sidering him because of the 100th anniversary of his birth.

Born during WW I, he served Our native country Italy for seven years in WW II. Not only did “soldier Domenico” Serve honorably in the Cavalry, But he saved starving children With suitcases full of bread and food from Southern Italy. Ntroduction IA love of humanity gives Fellini the impetus in La voce della luna (The Voice of the Moon) to portray characters at many stations in life and with uncertain prospects. It is almost as if Fellini wants to give life on film to many sides of himself 1. He does not want to forget any individual from the human race. Each character represented on the screen gives Fellini a longer life, and a fuller life as an artist. We can perhaps try to understand this masterpiece by 1 The Voice of the Moon (1990).

Marie-Therese Mäder 39 FedericoFellini: From Catholicismtothe Collective Unconscious The interface between Federico Fellini’s(1920–1993) oeuvreand religion is rich but complex and evident in abroad rangeofreligiouslyconnoted topics,motifs, stories, and styles.Literal biblical references rarelyappear in Fellini’scinematic universe. Nevertheless they are present,often visualized and materialized in asubverted char- acter.For biblical reception in Fellini’swork is mediated through his interpretation of Catholic ideas inasmuchashereceivedthe biblical tradition in athoroughlyRoman Catholic context. Fellini’screative period, which started in 1950 with Luci del varietà (a.k.a.Variety Lights)and ended in 1990 with La voce della luna (a.k.a. TheVoice of the Moon), com- prises twenty-four films thathedirected. Films withoutreference to Roman Cathol- icism are in the minority,asFellini unremittingly accused the Church and its agents of factitiousness and ambivalence. Roman Catholic censorsofficiallybanned La ten- tazionedel dottor Antonio (1962, a.k.a. TheTemptationofDr. Antonio,acontribution to the omnibus production Boccaccio ’70)and 8½ (1963). Conservative groups pro- tested at the screenings of other works.Fellini’scritical ambivalencetowardthe Church is repeatedlyevident in the aesthetic of his workand attests to the signifi- cance of RomanCatholicism in his familial, social,and educational background.

  • LR – 8 ½, JULIET of the SPIRITS and LA DOLCE VITA
    (L-R – 8 ½, JULIET OF THE SPIRITS and LA DOLCE VITA) Monday 28 October 2019, London – The BFI today announces a major year-long celebration to mark the centenary of one of cinema’s most exuberantly playful filmmakers, Federico Fellini (1920–1993), in partnership with Luce – Cinecittà. The celebration begins at BFI Southbank with a two month complete retrospective of Fellini’s work in January – February 2020. This retrospective is the first of the Fellini 100 official tour, a series of centennial tributes to Fellini, coordinated by the Italian Ministry of Culture, which will travel to major museums and film institutes worldwide, led by Luce – Cinecittà. Fellini’s career stretches from post-war neorealism to the MTV era and his work has gone on to influence several generations of directors including David Lynch, Pedro Almodóvar, Sofia Coppola and Martin Scorsese, the latter of who described LA DOLCE VITA (1960) as ‘the film that conquered the world’. BFI will re- release LA DOLCE VITA on 3 January in selected cinemas as well as make available a number of Fellini’s most influential films via a tour to cinemas nationwide and a collection on BFI Player. The two month season at BFI Southbank has been programmed thematically by film academic, critic and broadcaster Pasquale Iannone. It will begin in January with Walkers and Wanderers, a strand focusing on loosely-structured journey narratives, including titles such as LA STRADA (1954) and THE VOICE OF THE MOON (1990). Also in January will be the second strand Spectacle and Society – including SATYRICON (1969) and GINGER AND FRED (1986) in which Fellini places spectacle firmly in a socio-historical context.

  • Federico Fellini International Museum
    Major Cultural Heritage Projects Federico Fellini International Museum I cannot consider Rimini an objective fact. It is rather, and only, a dimension of my memory. (Federico Fellini, My Hometown) Nothing is known, everything is imagined… (taken from The Voice of the Moon by Federico Fellini) Major Cultural Heritage Projects Federico Fellini International Museum Cities are built to accommodate people and foster relationships. Architecture follows: hilosophy hilosophy open and enclosed spaces laid out in a more p contextand or less orderly fashion. Cities interpret their role, favouring the needs of people. Dreams – in the sense of hopes, expectations and desires – are usually relegated to the role of “supporting actor”, if not cut out completely. Yet cities that fail to focus on dreams are incomplete, uncomfortable places full of “things” perhaps, but not full of life. Rimini interprets its future through the dreams of an all-time cultural genius: Federico Fellini. It does so thanks to a museum that isn’t just a museum, but a piece of a city with ambitions of utopia: it is creativity and the artistic process that enter and above all, exit from established spaces to run through the streets, the squares, the places where everyday life takes place. Federico Fellini International Museum, a unique museum complex on a global level, made up of solids and voids, is the matrix of an operation based on restoration and innovation that in an urban space covering just 400 metres physically blends the body and soul of four historical eras: the legacy of the Romans, the splendour of the Middle Ages and the impulse of the Renaissance, the torment and ecstasy of great musical melodrama until the arrival of the seventh art form, thanks to perhaps the most creative “dream-maker” of all time.
