NRThe Lion is the symbol of Venice, but also of courage: that of a city and - in our case - of a Film Festival and a media event that did not give up and stubbornly "wanted" to be realized in spite of the world around, of Codiv19 and the great uncertainty that dominates the global situation. In an 'abnormal' city, never seen before so deprived of tourists and the general chaos that - in general - characterizes it between the end of August and the beginning of September, our story begins, made up of a Venice never seen before and - therefore - little or nothing told cinematically. A crescendo of emotions, which between stage and behind the scenes, between what passes in front of the screen and what remains behind involves the viewer in depth.

5.0At the heart of Fellini's I am a Clown is the strange and wonderful story of Peter Goldfarb, the very young American producer who in 1967 convinced Federico Fellini, the greatest Italian director, to work for the first time for American television. A story that has remained little known for half a century and which today - for the first time - brings the man who convinced Fellini to make a sort of mockumentary Federico Fellini’s Notebook, perhaps the first in the history of Italian cinema , using a scheme that the great author born in Rimini would have later reused with other films such as Intervista, Prova d'Orchestra and Roma. A human and artistic journey that would then be repeated immediately after with The Clowns, destined to make Fellini a forerunner of modern television.

6.6Led by Carlo Verdone, a truly Roman, we explore the social and cultural origins of Roman comedy. A "disillusioned" form of comedy, a bit cynical, a bit resigned, constantly toeing the line between popular spirit and sophisticated writing, between indolence and passion, between laughter and tears, between film, theater, and TV.
