Fellini 100 International Conference
Fellini, the "Book of Dreams" between Art and Cinema
1-2 de abril de 2020
Bolonia, Itania
With the publication of the new edition of Federico Fellini's Book of Dreams (edited by Mondadori Electa), a two-day conference is organized on the occasion of the centenary of the Maestro's birth (1920/2020). The volume itself and its innumerable suggestions act as the subject of possible papers.
The Book, in fact, will not only be analyzed and discussed within specific interventions, but will provide ideas for the definition of Fellini's poetics, or for the examination of figures, themes, icons, references, places of Fellini's cinema.
Oneirism, unconscious, psychoanalysis, graphics, sexuality, popular culture, diary, caricature, deformed mirror, self-portrait, and more: so many are the definitions of Federico Fellini's Book of Dreams. The purpose of the conference is to understand whether - thanks to the anniversary and the imminence of the opening of the new Federico Fellini International Museum - the book of Fellini's cinema can be metaphorically and literally "re-opened", with the confirmation of some streams of research and the opening of new perspectives.
