Art on Screen: Fellini of the Spirits

The Story

Profoundly in love with life, Fellini went through his existence always seeking its meaning. To mark the centennial of his birth – January 20, 1920 – Fellini of the Spirits investigates, in-depth, his passion for what he defined as “mystery”, the esoteric, the unseen world in a relentless pursuit of other possibilities, other dimensions, other travels and of everything that can make spirit and mind fly.

Many voices tell about the magic world of Fellini, from the tarot card reader that Fellini always consulted to Terry Gilliam (Oscar nominee Brazil), from Fellini’s collaborators and dearest friends, to Academy Award winning directors Damien Chazelle (La La Land, Whiplash) and William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist).

Thanks to extraordinary materials from Rai Teche and Isitituo Luce archives and international archive contents, images from his movies and interviews with the scholars and those inspired by his immense work, Fellini of the Spirits is a unprecedented, intimate and spiritual portrait of the great director.
