Academy Museum Plans Fellini Tribute

The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures has announced plans for a traveling Federico Fellini exhibition pegged to the centennial of his 1920 birth. It will be part of a five-year initiative of Italian film screenings and public programs organized in collaboration with Istituto Luce - Cinecittà, Rome.

Shown, Fellini's vision of paparrazi in La Dolce Vita (1960). Fellini coined the term by naming a fictional celebrity photographer "Paparazzo." The film's character was loosely modeled on Italian photographer Tazio Secchiaroli.
