A ‘Means of Distribution’: Federico Fellini And Italian Television
This article will examine both the Fellinian imagery of television that is present in his films and the role of Fellini as a television ‘critic’. In the first part, we consider Federico Fellini’s entire filmography, focusing on the main cinematic texts that deal most explicitly with the world of television: Il bidone (The Swindle) (1955), La Dolce Vita (1960), Prova d’orchestra (Orchestra Rehearsal) (1979), Ginger e Fred (Ginger and Fred) (1986), Intervista (1988) and La voce della luna (The Voice of the Moon) (1989).
