The school was run by priests and as a truant student young Federico was often subjected to severe punishment. He spent four or five years in a boarding school in Fano. He was born in the small seaside town of Rimini on Italy’s Adriatic coast in 1920 to Ida Barbiani and Urbano Fellini, a travelling salesman. In 2009, at the 15th edition of the festival, a few Fellini films were screened as part of a retrospective event and almost every single show was packed to capacity, underscoring the popularity the master's works enjoy among cine buffs in India in general and Bengal in particular.įellini had no formal training in filmmaking. The 26th Kolkata International Film Festival (KIFF), which ended today, picked five feature films by Fellini and a documentary made on one of his works to celebrate his centenary. Two major films of Polish director Wojciech Has, namely The Saragossa Manuscript (1965) and The Hourglass Sanatorium (1973), throw up examples of modernist fantasies and have been compared to Fellini’s work for the “luxuriance of his images”.
The term paparazzi, now in common parlance, was born in Fellini’s La Dolce Vita (1960), in which journalist Marcello Rubini (Marcello Mastroianni) derives it from the name of his photographer friend Paparazzo who photographs celebrities in every which way he can.
