Nights of Cabiria
As an institution with a consistent focus on the history of cinema, a comprehensive Federico Fellini retrospective is the least we can do to mark his centennial. He was a great inventor of cinematic forms and a complex artist – paradoxical, tormented, light-hearted, provocative, introspective, brutal, idealistic and jaded all at once. He recreated the world through his lens, while remaining a sharp observer of his contemporaries and the many sensitivities of his time.
Drawn into strange, melancholy adventures, a young Roman prostitute somehow maintains her faith in humanity. Screenplay by Pier Paolo Pasolini.
Trailer in VOSTF. The movie will be presented with english subtitles.
Federico Fellini
Federico Fellini was one of the greatest Italian writers and directors of the 20th century, and one of the most illustrious filmmakers in the history of cinema. He won the Palme d'or at Cannes in 1960 for La dolce vita, and took home the Oscar for Best Foreign-Language Film four times (La strada, Nights of Cabiria, 8½, and Amarcord), a record he shares with his compatriot Vittorio De Sica. Initially associated with neo-realism, Fellini’s work evolved over the course of the 1960s toward a unique approach related to European modernism, a movement associated with Ingmar Bergman, Michelangelo Antonioni, Alain Resnais, Jean-Luc Godard and Andrei Tarkovsky. His films grew increasingly to embrace a proliferation of themes, deliberate artifice and the complete erasure of boundaries between dream, imagination, hallucination and reality. In 1993, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences awarded him a lifetime achievement award in recognition of his place as one of the screen’s master storytellers.

Fellini/Pasolini : Portraits croisés
Entre intransigeance néo-réaliste et trouble baroque, entre idéologie et imaginaire, à l'heure précise où tout bascule, c'est-à-dire où une époque change de poétique… nous sommes en 1965. Un couple exceptionnel part en voiture à la recherche de "la Bombe", la mythique pétroleuse romaine. Ce sont Pasolini et Fellini. Ils ne la trouvent pas; mais après cet étrange voyage Pasolini écrit un extraordinaire portrait...
