Fact	The main character, Guido Contini, in the Maury Yeston musical "Nine" is inspired by Fellini.

Federico Fellini was an Italian film director and screenwriter. He is known for his distinctive style, which blends fantasy and baroque images with earthiness. His films include La Strada, La Dolce Vita, 8½, and Fellini’s Roma.

Fellini was born on January 20, 1920, in Rimini, Italy. His father, Urbano Fellini, was a businessman and hotelier, and his mother, Ida Barbiani, was a homemaker. He had two sisters, Maria and Gabriella.

Fellini’s early education was at a Catholic boarding school. He developed a love of drawing and storytelling. When he was 13, he ran away from home to join a traveling circus. He later returned home and finished high school.

Fellini began his career as a journalist, writing for a local paper. He also wrote screenplays for Italian neorealist films. In 1943, he co-wrote the screenplay for the film La Strada, which won an Academy Award.

Fellini’s first film as a director was The White Sheik in 1952. His next film, La Strada, was a critical and commercial success. It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Fellini’s films often dealt with themes of love, death, and loneliness. His films 8½ and La Dolce Vita are considered masterpieces of Italian cinema. Fellini’s Roma is a semi-autobiographical film about his childhood in Rimini.

Fellini died on October 31, 1993, in Rome, Italy.

Quotes

#	Quote
1	Our duty as storytellers is to bring people to the station. There each person will choose his or her own train... But we must at least take them to the station... to a point of departure.
2	Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.
3	The visionary is the only true realist.
4	Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second and you can hop from one place to another. It's a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something as in a dream.
5	With the death of Sergei Parajanov cinema lost one of its magicians. (July, 1990)
6	No doubt there's a connection between pathology and creation, we can't deny it. Yet I view with pleasure the work of film professionals I love, such as Bunuel, Kurosawa, Kubrick, Bergman.
7	Anyone who lives, as I do, in a world of imagination must make an enormous and unnatural effect to be factual in the ordinary sense. I confess I would be a terrible witness in court because of this--and a terrible journalist. I feel compelled to a story the way I see it and this is seldom the way it happened, in all its documentary detail.
8	I'm just a storyteller, and the cinema happens to be my medium. I like it because it recreates life in movement, enlarges it, enhances it, distills it. For me, it's far closer to the miraculous creation of life than, say, a painting or music or even literature. It's not just an art form; it's actually a new form of life, with its own rhythms, cadences, perspectives and transparencies. It's my way of telling a story.
9	We don't really know who woman is. She remains in that precise place within man where darkness begins. Talking about women means talking about the darkest part of ourselves, the undeveloped part, the true mystery within. In the beginning, I believe man was complete and androgynous-both male and female, or neither, like angels. Then came the division, and Eve was taken from him. So the problem for man is to reunite himself with the other half of his being, to find the woman who is right for him-right be she is simply a projection, a mirror of himself. A man can't become whole or free until he has set woman free-his woman. It's his responsibility, not hers. He can't be complete, truly alive until he makes her his sexual companion, and not a slave of libidinous acts or a saint with a halo.
10	[on Akira Kurosawa] I think he is the greatest example of all that an author of the cinema should be. I feel a fraternal affinity with his way of telling a story.
11	Happiness is simply a temporary condition that proceeds unhappiness. Fortunately for us, it works the other way around as well. But it's all a part of the carnival, isn't it.
12	I always direct the same film. I can't distinguish one from another.
13	It's absolutely impossible to improvise. Making a movie is a mathematical operation. It is like sending a missile to the moon. It isn't improvised. It is too defined to be called improvisational, too mechanical. Art is a scientific operation, so I can say that what we usually call improvisation is in my case just having an ear and eye for things that sometimes occur during the time we are making the picture.
14	Censorship is advertising paid by the government.
15	Cinema is an old whore, like circus and variety, who knows how to give many kinds of pleasure. Besides, you can't teach old fleas new dogs.
16	All art is autobiographical. The pearl is the oyster's autobiography.
17	It's easier to be faithful to a restaurant than it is to a woman.
18	Put yourself into life and never lose your openness, your childish enthusiasm throughout the journey that is life, and things will come your way.
19	You have to live spherically--in many directions. To accept yourself for what you are without inhibitions, to be open.
20	Our dreams are our real life. My fantasies and obsessions are not only my reality, but the stuff of which my films are made.
21	In the mythology of the cinema, the Oscar is the supreme prize.
22	In the myth of the cinema, Oscar is the supreme prize.
23	You exist only in what you do.
24	My work is my only relationship to everything.
25	There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the infinite passion of life.
