A Week of Film: FrancoFest, "Je t'aime, Je t'aime", and Miami's International Film Festival

NEW YORK

Why simply release a new film when you can have an entire self-centered, multi-day retrospective coincide with the premiere? Probably because uber-prolific James Franco may be the only one to think of doing that. He's calling it FrancoFest. His new film INTERIOR. LEATHER BAR., a re-imagination of lost "x-rated" footage from Cruising, will premiere amongst a swallow of other Franco films including, Spring Breakers, Howl, 127 Hours, and re-edits of Gus van Sant's My Own Private Idaho and My Own Private River.
