    E1 ENTERTAINMENT ACQUIRES ALL NORTH AMERICAN RIGHTS TO FEDERICO FELLINI'S "LA DOLCE VITA"

    By KOCH Records February 2nd 2009

    E1 Entertainment has acquired all North American rights to Federico Fellini's 1960 masterpiece La Dolce Vita, as well as other classic Italian films for North America, in a new deal with International Media Films. Previously, E1 handled North American home video rights only for La Dolce Vita. A 50th Anniversary special edition DVD release of La Dolce Vita, as well as a theatrical re-release and a Blu-ray release are planned for later this year. Winner of an Academy Award and the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Federico Fellini's masterpiece gave the world the term "paparazzi," and catapulted Fellini to the pantheon of visionary directors. Marcello Mastroianni stars as tabloid reporter Marcello, the role that made him an international sensation. Vividly brought to life by Fellini's iconic images and composer Nino Rota's classic score, La Dolce Vita is a towering achievement in world cinema and one of the most popular and influential films of all time. Other films included in this deal are Vittorio De Sica's Shoe - Shine (1946) plus three important early films by Luchino Visconti: Bellissima (1951), La Terra Trema (1948), and Ossessione (1943). Alfredo Leone, a pioneering force in the entertainment industry for more than 50 years, serving as a producer, writer, director, actor and consultant on countless films and television projects, is CEO and owner of International Media Films. His company recently won the 34th Annual Saturn Award for its DVD Box Set of horror pioneer Mario Bava's films.
