The inaugural FrancoFest — going down at New York City’s IFC Center from Wednesday, March 5, through Thursday, March 13 — will center squarely on Franco’s screen work, meaning we’ll have to wait till next time to consider the paintings, sundry master’s theses and bits of literature, undergrad lecture demos, and live Days of Our Lives–inspired performance art. “We’re thrilled to present this not-even-mid-career survey [which] includes some of Franco’s most notable performances — Spring Breakers, 127 Hours and more — and a sampling of the features he has directed, among them As I Lay Dying, The Broken Tower, Sal and others,” IFC’s announcement reads. Franco will appear at a handful of the screenings.
