Description:

At the 43° Torino Film Festival directed by Giulio Base, James Franco is among the artists  receiving the famous festival prize, Stella della Mole.

The actor, writer and director was in Torino to also introduce to the audience the screening of 127 hours by Danny Boyle, which, in 2010, had its italian premiere in Torino.

127 Hours

Back in 2010, Franco was nominated for an Academy Award for his role in 127 Hours, an experience that remained unique in his filmography and that was a first for everyone, including director Danny Boyle.

The film is a biographical drama about Aron Ralston, who became trapped by a boulder in a Utah canyon and eventually cut his own arm to finally break free.

Franco recalls that, since he didn’t have any other actor to interact with, he had this very close connection to director Danny Boyle, the film’s DP and the cameras.

Acquiring the status of European artist

Since his experience being directed by Claudio Giovannesi in Hey Joe, James Franco has participated in another italian film, Squali and has been traveling back and forth from Los Angeles to Europe, including France and Italy.

He now knows very well the European cinema industry and is rapidly acquiring the status of European artist. The actor and director explains what it meant for him to actually become part of a different approach to cinema that he had always loved and admired since going back to film in 2006.
