Federico Fellini, having won three Oscars, talks about the Academy Awards and how they represent the goal of every filmmaker both in the U.S. and abroad. He goes on to talk about American cinema as mythical, legendary.

Fellini loves working with Marcello Mastroianni. He tells us why, and in doing so, tells a great story about a fake bullet wound.

A precious moment in the middle of a shoot with Fellini and his crew.

Fellini looks back and admits that he didn't believe he had what it takes to be a film director. Here we see him in action. He definitely had what it takes.

Fellini gives us his personal views on tempo libero, (free-time). Whatever you do, don't show up if you have an appuntamento (appointment) with him!

For the filming of a scene from Satyricon, Fellini, on the set at Cinecittà, patiently rehearses with an actor who's supposed to count from one to four.

Italian TV is broadcasting from the set of Fellini's Satyricon in Cinecittà as well as from the show, Canzonissima, a well-known variety TV show being hosted in this case, by Mina (one of Italy's most famous pop singers).

Federico Fellini and Ingmar Bergman, two of the most important film directors in international cinema, discuss a joint project. They come from completely different worlds, but have some important points in common. Fellini's film, Satyricon is in the spotlight at the Venice Film Festival of 1969.

To please a reporter, Fellini sits and describes a typical day spent at Chianciano Terme, where he has gone for its healing thermal waters. Chianciano happens to have inspired one of his best known films, and he still sees it as a movie set. Fellini goes on to reminisce about Sundays in Rimini, and admits that his memories are a mix of fact and fantasy.

Fellini talks about Rimini, his hometown, and how his memories, dreams and fantasies of that place are connected to his films.

This is the last segment of a series of interviews focused on one of the greatest film directors of all time. Fellini, in saying he doesn't have much to say, says it all.

It's Pisa. A group of university students living in an apartment together have made a home video of the place, which is a mess, partly due to clogged sinks. Their stay is almost at its end and they're taking stock.

The group goes grocery shopping for their party, but on the way back, Ilaria wants to make a stop. Nobody knows why, or what she plans to do and the situation gets out of hand.

As they make pasta with whatever scraps of food are left in the fridge, the group discusses Ilaria's predicament, which turns out to be worse than they imagined.

The group has to figure out the final accounts for the apartment, including some very expensive phone bills they wonder about. Later, they talk about the future and where they think they will end up.
