A poet who discovered his talent while trying to survive in a concentration camp in Germany, Tonino was drawn to film later in life. Not unlike most screenwriters, Tonino Guerra (1920 - 2012) is less well-known. Having started his career as a caricaturist, Fellini conceived many of his films and characters while constantly drawing and following his fascination with dreams as well as the bizarre, grotesque, and enchanting. Fellini inspired fellow filmmakers Stanley Kubrick, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, Tim Burton, David Lynch, Marco Ferreri, Lina Wertmüller, Ettore Scola, Juan Antonio Bardem, Emir Kusturica, Wes Anderson and Terry Gilliam.
In 1990, the Japanese prince Hitachi handed him a Praemium Imperiale award for his contributions to the world of art. In his collection are Lions and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Festival of Venice in addition to the 1960 Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film festival for “La Dolce Vita”. Federico Fellini (1920 - 1993), perhaps one of the most important film directors in the history of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, was nominated for twelve Academy awards and won four times in the category of Best Foreign Language Film (for “La Strada” (1956), “Nights of Cabiria” (1957), “8 ½” (1963) and “Amarcord” (1974)), in addition to the 1992 Academy Honorary Award.
