Agenzia matrimoniale (A Marriage Agency). 1953. Italy. Directed by Federico Fellini. Screenplay by Fellini, Tullio Pinelli. With Antonio Cifariello, Livia Venturini. 4K digital restoration. In Italian; English subtitles. 17 min.

In this episode from the anthology film L’amore in città (Love in the City), a journalist investigates the work of a marriage agency by going undercover as a customer. The result is a quietly devastating revelation.

Block-notes di un regista (Felllini: A Director’s Notebook). 1969. USA. Written and directed by Federico Fellini. Produced by Peter Goldfarb and NBC. 4K digital restoration. 60 min.

A man who prizes imagination over reality, Fellini has crafted several reflexive, documentary-like works—beginning with this one made for NBC—focusing on what he can truthfully portray in the most personal manner: his own art. Beginning with a walk through the set of a movie Fellini never completed, this director’s notebook offers an eye-opening, behind-the-scenes view of the director’s artistic output.

This film accompanies Federico Fellini.
