Film Showing to start the Classics Conference – The 50th Anniversary of Fellini Satyricon (1969-2019)

Fellini Satyricon (1969), directed by the master Italian director Federico Fellini, was first shown in Rome on 3 September 1969 and released throughout Italy on 18 September 1969. It is among the most famous (though unusual) representations of the Roman world. Originally both admired and attacked, this conference aims to mark the film’s 50^th anniversary and reconsider its originality and importance.

Following the film, there will be a dinner for speakers and invited guests at Istanbul Restaurant (695 Brunswick St, New Farm). For those coming by public transport, the 199 and 196 buses have stops within 20 metres of the cinema.
