4. HOW IT ALL BEGAN…
Federico Fellini was born on
January 20, 1920 in Rimini. He
was the eldest child in family
(he also had a brother and a
sister). Although it seems that
many creative people do not
pay enough attention to their
school education, Fellini
differed from them. He was an
attentive student and in his free
time he was fond of drawing.
But when he moved to Rome
to continue his education at
university the situation
changed. He just turned
everything upside down and
devoted his life to the cinema.

12. NOT ONLY THE FILMS BUT ALSO FELLINI`S
QUOTES INFLUENCED PEOPLE`S VIEWS.
You exist only in what you do.
Experience is what you get while looking for something
else.
Fate is written in the face.
A created thing is never invented and it is never true: it is
always and ever itself.
A different language is a different vision of life.
It is only when I am doing my work that I feel truly alive.
13. FELLINI`S QUOTES
Realism is a bad word. In a sense everything is realistic.
I see no line between the imaginary and the real.
The artist is the medium between his fantasies and the
rest of the world.
Censorship is advertising paid by the government.
A good opening and a good ending make for a good film
provide they come close together.
There is no end. There is no beginning. There is only the
passion of life.
No critic writing about a film could say more than the film
itself, although they do their best to make us think the
opposite.
14. JUST AN ITALIAN LEGEND
In August 1993, Fellini
suffered a stroke. After his
death at the age of 73 on
October 31st thousands of
people packed the narrow
streets of Fellini's hometown
of Rimini, applauding as the
director's casket was carried
from the main square to the
cinema where Fellini had
watched his first films as a
child.
15. HIS FILMS STILL INFLUENCE MANY YOUNG DIRECTORS
AND THEY CAN EVEN BE USED AS EDUCATIONAL
MATERIAL. FELLINI`S FILMS ARE HIS REFLECTION THAT
MADE HIM IMMORTAL.
