Fellini Narrates: A Discovered Self-Portrait
(Fellini racconta–un autoritratto ritrovato)

Directed by Paquito Del Bosco.
Italy, 2000, digital video, color and b&w, 68 min.
Italian with English subtitles.

Delving into the voluminous radio and television archives of Italian broad-casting company RAI, director Paquito Del Bosco and his team have come up with some wonderfully rare interviews with the late Federico Fellini. From an early radio discussion in February 1952 at the time of the opening of his first solo feature film, The White Sheik, to conversations on the set of La dolce vita and 8 1/2, Fellini Narrates captures much of the charm and humor of the maestro while offering many insights into his character and career. Among the rarely seen material is footage of a press conference with Fellini and Ingmar Bergman in which the pair announce their plans to collaborate on a film (sadly never realized), as well as a brief visit to the set of Fellini’s never-completed film The Journey of Mastorna.
