Making a Film

Federico Fellini (1920–1993) vividly recalls his childhood in colorful Rimini, his gloomy youth, and his move to Rome in his autobiographical book - years spent working as a caricaturist, journalist, and screenwriter. The story of his fateful collaboration with Roberto Rossellini and the creation of his iconic films - from 'The Road' and 'Nights of Cabiria' to 'La Dolce Vita', '8½', and 'Amarcord'. 'Making a Film' is not only professional commentary and practical advice from a great filmmaker, but also insightful reflections on the nature of fantasy and visual art, on the Eternal City and the restless province, on magicians and circus performers, on freedom and youth - in short, on everything that truly matters. Foreword by Vsevolod Kor Shunov.
