Federico Fellini

Enter the dream world of one of world cinema’s most exuberantly playful filmmakers.

As part of BFI's centenary celebration of the renowned Italian filmmaker we present this collection of great works, with a special focus on aspects of his films he’s arguably most famous for – the world of dreams and autobiography

Fellini’s kaleidoscopic, often sharply satirical narratives draw freely from his own personal obsessions, fantasies and memories, and have gone on to influence several generations of directors including David Lynch, Pedro Almodóvar, Sofia Coppola and Paolo Sorrentino.
