"Do you even have a script? A few pages, an idea?" Janus Films has unveiled a brand new trailer for the all-timer classic Federico Fellini's 8 1/2, originally released in 1963. Considered by many as one of the greatest films ever made, and one of the most spectacular looks at the life of filmmakers, this Italian classic has been re-released many times before.

Also featured is Fellini's rarely seen first film for TV, Fellini: A Director's Notebook (1969). Produced by Peter Goldfarb, this "imagined documentary" of Fellini on Fellini is a kaleidoscope of unfinished projects, all of which provide a fascinating and candid window into the director’s unique creative process.
