Brooklyn Cinema Forum: Maestro Month | 8 1/2

It's Maestro Month at Green Lung Studio's Brooklyn Cinema Forum, a DIY screening event studying great works of film followed by conversation.

This is a focus on a specific master filmmaker and two of their films made years apart from each other. To kick of 2025 we're going back to basics with the legendary Federico Fellini.

Marcello Mastroianni plays Guido Anselmi, a director whose new project is collapsing around him, along with his life. One of the greatest films about film ever made, Federico Fellini’s 8½ (Otto e mezzo) turns one man’s artistic crisis into a grand epic of the cinema. An early working title for 8½ was The Beautiful Confusion, and Fellini’s masterpiece is exactly that: a shimmering dream, a circus, and a magic act.
