The series encompasses rarely seen documentary and short films by Fellini, as well as three of his early collaborations with Rossellini-a canonical director in his own right who directed Fellini’s screenplays for Open City, Paisan, and The Flowers of St. In a career that spanned nearly five decades, Fellini was lauded with countless international awards, including a Palme d’Or at Cannes for La dolce vita, four Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film-the most ever awarded to a single director in that category-and an Academy Honorary Award, which he received in 1993 for his many contributions to cinema across his career.įederico Fellini at 100 includes every film Fellini ever directed, from his Neorealist-inflected solo directorial debut Variety Lights to midcareer masterpieces like the Oscar-winning 8½ to phantasmagorical late works like Fellini Roma. Though he began his career in the Italian Neorealist movement as a protégé of Roberto Rossellini, Fellini soon transitioned from Neorealism to his own distinctive style, employing dreamlike imagery and fantastical scenarios to explore themes of memory, desire, and artistic expression.
