Torino Film Festival Opens 40th Edition with Star-Studded Ceremony
The 40th Torino Film Festival opened on November 25 at the Teatro Regio in Turin, Italy. The unprecedented opening ceremony featured a live broadcast of Rai Radio 3's Hollywood Party, dedicated to the relationship between the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, and cinema. Hosted by festival director Steve Della Casa, the event included special guest Malcolm McDowell, who shared anecdotes about meeting Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger. The ceremony showcased film clips by Jean-Luc Godard, Wim Wenders, and Mario Schifano, as well as footage of the Rolling Stones' 1982 concert in Turin, for which artist Ezio Gribaudo produced 100 copies of a logogriph featuring the band's iconic tongue logo. The festival runs until December 3 and has a new headquarters, Casa Cinema alla Cavallerizza, hosting ticket sales, accreditation, a lounge, and the Fuori Campo music program featuring live sets by Samuel dei Subsonica, Fabrizio Vespa, Paolo Parpaglione, and Giorgio Valletta.
