TIFF Bell Lightbox’s HSBC Gallery’s latest exhibition is Fellini: Spectacular Obsessions. Following Italian director Federico Fellini, you’ll have the opportunity to explore over four hundred works that explore the various obsessions that appear throughout his films and his life.

Known for his distinct film-making style, a blend of fantasy and baroque images, Fellini is considered one of the most influential film directors and script writers of the 20th century. Winning Oscars for La Strada (1954), Nights of Cabiria (1957), 8-1/2 (1963), and Amarcord (1974), Fellini also received an Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1993. He is also well-known to have coined the term “paparazzi.”

The TIFF Bell Lightbox is open from 12pm until 8pm today. For more information on Fellini: Spectacular Obsessions, go to http://www.tiff.net/fellini.
