About the directior:
Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini was born in Rimini, a resort town on the Adriatic coast. He worked in Rome as a journalist and cartoonist in one of the most popular comic magazines, Marcus Aurelius, known for its anti-fascist orientation. Fellini’s acquaintance with Roberto Rossellini happened at the time of the liberation of Rome by the allied forces from the dictatorship of Mussolini. Thus, the maestro’s career began with the co-writing of the script for the first film of Italian neorealism, Rome – an Open City. Fellini’s second film, Mama’s Sons, received the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival, and the script was nominated for an Oscar.
The film The Road brought Fellini extraordinary success around the world and won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film. This was followed by the next masterpiece – Nights of Cabiria, a touching story of an Italian prostitute, played by the muse of his life – Juliet Mazina. From the work, La Dolce Vita, it became obvious that Federico Fellini is a genius of a global scale.
