Son enfance s'écoule entre le collège des Pères, à Fano, et les vacances à la campagne, à Gambettola, où passent fréquemment les gitans et les forains. Toute l'œuvre de Fellini sera mar­ quée par le souvenir des gens du voyage, clowns, équi­ libristes et jongleurs ; par le rythme d'une ville, aussi, où les étés ruisselant du luxe des baigneurs en vacances alternaient avec les hivers mornes et gris, balayés par le vent glacial. Déjà au temps de ses études, Fellini avait manifesté un goût très vif pour la caricature, et ses dessins humo­ ristiques faisaient la joie de ses camarades. Ce talent l'introduit chez un éditeur de Florence, puis à Rome, où il se rend en 1939. La guerre survient. Sans ressources, Fellini vit d'expédients avant d'ouvrir cinq boutiques de caricatures pour soldats américains. C'est cette période de sa vie qui fera dire à Geneviève Agel (dans une étude remarquable intitulée « Les chemins de Fellini ») : « C'est peut-être à force de caricaturer le visage des hommes qu'il est devenu ce troublant arracheur de masques ». En 1943, Fellini épouse Giulietta Masina. Puis il ren­ contre Roberto Rossellini qui lui fait tenir le rôle du vagabond dans son film LE MIRACLE.

We reCognize that the details of this plan are still being determined. We write today to make several recommendations for you to consider as you work to address both the achievement gap in academic, social and physical skill areas and the regression of life among the approximately 200,000 students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs). Unlike other students, this population of Children may never catch up on what was lost during the days of remote learning. With regard to the effort to provide families the option of blended or remote instruction models, appropriate staffing has beCome a Challenge, partiCularly for students with IEPs. This has been detailed in the press and in testimony from parents and other stakeholders at the joint Committee hearing of the New York City Council on the reopening of sChools (10/23/20).

Rosenthal to rally behind her bill, A3864, to remedy a serious gap in continuing medical education requirements for licensed medical professionals. A3864 will require licensed health care providers to complete training in sexual health, including how to talk to patients about sex, STIs and HIV. Experts believe that this kind of training is needed to address the mistrust and discrimination that communities hit hardest by HIV and STIs continue to experience. The virtual conference supporting A3864 is scheduled for 10 am ET on Thursday, April 22 and will feature the following speakers: ● Michelle D.

  • In Response to the Confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, a Coalition of Elected Officials in New York City Released the Following Statement
    In response to the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, a coalition of elected officials in New York City released the following statement: “Ostensibly, the role of the Supreme Court is not to make policy, or to implement a political agenda. It’s to determine whether or not the policies and the political agendas enacted by other branches of government are consistent with the Constitution and the laws of the United States. But this narrative simply isn’t true. The Supreme Court has always been a political institution. The Republican Party recognizes this reality and uses aggressive tactics to stack the courts with right-wing ideologues, cultivated in their own parallel legal ecosystem. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party has fought to preserve the myth of our apolitical judiciary, unilaterally disarming in the battles that decide which judges are confirmed to the federal bench. This asymmetry is exacerbated by our dysfunctional electoral system. Hundreds of federal judges - including a majority on the Supreme Court - have now been appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote. The result has been catastrophic. A right-wing supermajority now sits on the Supreme Court. The federal judiciary is teeming with hundreds of conservative fanatics appointed by Donald Trump. They are poised to destroy what little remains of abortion access, labor rights, civil rights protections, and social insurance. Not only do these extremist judges threaten more than a century of progressive achievements, they threaten to foreclose the possibility of any future progress under a Democratic administration. Already, the Roberts court has gutted the most progressive elements of the Affordable Care Act, denying Medicaid coverage to millions of poor Americans.

At a café a Pakistani man named Changez (Riz Ahmed) tells Bobby (Liev Schreiber), an American journalist, about his experiences in the United States. Roll back ten years, and we find a younger Changez fresh from Princeton, seeking his fortune on Wall Street. The American Dream seems well within his grasp, complete with a smart and gorgeous artist girlfriend, Erica (Kate Hudson). But when the Twin Towers are attacked, a cultural divide slowly begins to crack open between Changez and Erica. Changez’s dream soon begins to slip into nightmare: he is transformed from a well-educated, upwardly mobile businessman to a scapegoat and perceived enemy. Taking us through the culturally rich and beguiling worlds of New York, Lahore and Istanbul, The Reluctant Fundamentalist is a story about conflicting ideologies where perception and suspicion have the power to determine life or death. A MULTI-LAYERED VISION “Looks can be deceiving.” Changez Khan “An Indian director making a film about a Pakistani man. That’s not an easy thing to do,” says novelist and co-screenwriter Mohsin Hamid of The Reluctant Fundamentalist, the new film from award-winning filmmaker Mira Nair, based on Hamid’s acclaimed novel of the same name.

  • 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.
