This exhibition is Southeast Asia's first ever tribute to Fellini’s love and fascination for the circus arts and will showcase the profound influence that the “circus life” had on Fellini’s movie making.
It has been realized thanks to the joint cooperation between the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), School of Art, Design & Media, the Federico Fellini Foundation in Geneva, the Embassies of Italy and Switzerland as well as the Italian Cultural Institute in Singapore.

The NTU School of Art, Design and Media (ADM) and the Swiss-based Fellini Foundation for Film have signed a cooperation agreement to implement a series of cultural activities and exchanges between the two institutions.
This collaboration will include, among other:
- the exhibition on Federico Fellini and the Circus opening in November 2015 at the ADM Gallery as part of a larger exhibition about the Italian maestro that will continue through early February 2015. For the first time in Asia, important original documents about the famous Italian movie director will be presented
- a PHD course on Fellini by ADM to commence in January 2016. The Fellini Foundation will provide important research materials for the course
- the transfer of the Fellini Foundation digital library to the ADM Library, in order to create a research area dedicated to Fellini`s documents.
