The King of Paparazzi GFT
Saturday 1 June, 2019 3 p.m.
Among the many lasting legacies of Federico Fellini’s 1960 film La Dolce Vita is its creation of the term ‘paparazzo’ which has come to describe a particular type of relentless celebrity photographer. Massimo Spano and Giancarlo Scarchili’s fittingly star-studded documentary focuses on Rino Barillari, arguably Italy’s most famous ‘paparazzo’. After arriving in Rome from his Calabrian hometown while still in his teens, he went on to carve out an extraordinary career, chronicling more than five decades of Italian social and cultural history.
