Celebrating Peter Ammann's 95th Birthday!
Federico Fellini: From Personal Story to Mythical Event
16–17 October 2026
Filming of Satyricon – Sitting: Federico Fellini; on the far right: Peter Ammann
After graduating from the C.G. Jung-Institute in Zurich, I wished to go into filmmaking. I adored Fellini’s films and knew he admired Jung and had been in Jungian analysis. I went to Rome and asked Fellini if he would accept me as an assistant for his next film; he did. However, my encounter with Fellini in 1966 happened at a time when he was in a serious creative crisis during which his dreams guided him away from personal narratives toward more archetypal themes. We will watch two of his films that represent the beginning and the end of this crisis.

The mass crushes out the insight and reflection that are still possible with the individual, and this necessarily leads to doctrinaire and authoritarian tyranny if ever the constitutional State should succumb to a fit of weakness.
