    UNSEEN FELLINI TO BE SHOWN AT PROCIDA

    Naples

    (ANSA) - Naples, June 14 - Unseen footage from Federico
    Fellini's last film will be shown at the Procida
    International Film Festival this weekend.

    Two hours of material from La Voce Della Luna (1990) has
    been boiled down into a half-hour film called Fellini Rush.

    Festival organiser and film buff Enrico Ghezzi, who
    found the footage in the archives of state TV RAI, said
    "There are silent scenes, photos and rehearsals with dummies
    - a bit like the first rough work on a marble statue."

    The short will be the culmination of the festival's
    inaugural day, Thursday.

    The opening day will have two other highlights: the
    Italian premiere of Jean-Luc Godard's history of
    movie-making, Moments Choisis des Histoires du Cinema; and a
    restored, complete version of Fritz Lang's 1929 classic Woman
    in the Moon.

    A much-awaited independent feature by French-Armenian
    director Yervant Gianikian and Italy's Angela Ricci Lucchi,
    Electrical Fragments Nos 4/5, Asia-Africa, will close the
    festival on Sunday.

    The leitmotiv of this third Procida fest is The Cinema
    Era.

    Historians and film folk will discuss generations of
    technology and film-makers, with a special look at cinema
    dynasties.
