This year’s centennial of Federico Fellini’s birth is spawning a flurry of commemorative events, many of which will travel. For starters the late great auteur, who was born on Jan 20,1920, in Rimini, Italy, is being celebrated by his native seaside city with a new International Federico Fellini Museum, a so-called museum without walls, comprising an exhibition in Castel Sismondo, a medieval castle, titled “Fellini 100 And The Dolce Vita” and other components in other parts of Rimini’s historic centre.

Elements of the high-tech show involving installations and “liquid screens” are expected to be replicated in a tribute to the La Dolce Vita director set at the new Academy Museum of Motion Pictures – when the Renzo Piano-designed museum opens later this year – alongside a complete Fellini retrospective. This Fellini tribute will also be travelling to other major museums and film institutes around the world.
