Director Federico Fellini and his film "8 1/2" were the inspiration for the Maury Yeston-Arthur Kopit musical in which a film director is haunted by all the women in his life and a dwindling career.

The 105-minute documentary "Fellini: I'm a Born Liar" features interviews with some of the legendary auteur's contemporaries including Donald Sutherland, Terence Stamp, Roberto Benigni and Italo Calvino. Fellini himself appears in the film musing about women, cinema, actors, marriage and more — interviewed months before his death in October of 1993.

The film is directed by Damian Pettigrew and is in English and Italian with English subtitles. The First Look Pictures Release includes clips the maestro's most revered films, "8 1/2" and "La Dolce Vita."

"Fellini: I'm a Born Liar" will play at Film Forum, West Houston Street (West of Sixth Ave.) with five screenings daily. For more information, visit www.filmforum.com.
