The frames, mostly from cinema’s early years (1897-1915), are among the 23,491 clippings that the late Italian film historian Davide Turconi collected throughout his lifetime. The distortion of the film clippings’ subjects — now presumably dead — creates a […]

Seriously, how does James Franco find the time for all this stuff? Apparently his sixteen forthcoming feature films (three of which he is directing) just aren’t enough to save the actor/artist/intellectual/teddy-bear-killer from the throes of boredom, so is also collaborating with 7 For All Mankind to direct a short, interactive, promotional art film. “A Beautiful […]
