UNSEEN FELLINI TO BE SHOWN AT PROCIDA

Naples

(ANSA) – Naples, June 14 – Unseen footage from Federico
Fellini’s last film will be shown at the Procida
International Film Festival this weekend.

Two hours of material from La Voce Della Luna (1990) has
been boiled down into a half-hour film called Fellini Rush.

Festival organiser and film buff Enrico Ghezzi, who
found the footage in the archives of state TV RAI, said
“There are silent scenes, photos and rehearsals with dummies
– a bit like the first rough work on a marble statue.”

The short will be the culmination of the festival’s
inaugural day, Thursday.

The opening day will have two other highlights: the
Italian premiere of Jean-Luc Godard’s history of
movie-making, Moments Choisis des Histoires du Cinema; and a
restored, complete version of Fritz Lang’s 1929 classic Woman
in the Moon.

A much-awaited independent feature by French-Armenian
director Yervant Gianikian and Italy’s Angela Ricci Lucchi,
Electrical Fragments Nos 4/5, Asia-Africa, will close the
festival on Sunday.

The leitmotiv of this third Procida fest is The Cinema
Era.

Historians and film folk will discuss generations of
technology and film-makers, with a special look at cinema
dynasties.
