Wes Anderson is set to be honored with Italy’s Fellini Award, which celebrates directors who embody the artistic spirit of Federico Fellini. The recognition is bestowed by the municipality of the late maestro’s hometown of Rimini in tandem with the country’s prestigious Cineteca Di Bologna. 

Anderson — who has long cited Fellini as one of his influences — will receive the award on April 21 in Rimini’s Teatro Galli theatre, where the American auteur will hold an onstage conversation with Cineteca di Bologna chief Gianluca Farinelli. Italy’s Cineteca di Bologna is known globally as a prime film preservation entity and a temple of cinema. They run the venerable Il Cinema Ritrovato film fest.
