James Franco's Nude Basketball Film Wins Award


FEAST OF STEVEN JAMES FRANCO X390 (GRAB) | ADVOCATE.COM

James Franco’s nudity-laden film adaptation of the gay poem The Feast of Stephen won a Teddy Award at last week’s Berlin Film Festival. Franco, who attends New York University’s film school and is a favorite of gay viewers for his performances in biopics James Dean, Milk, and the upcoming Howl, directed the silent black-and-white short based on the lyrical poem by Anthony Hecht, about a young man fantasizing while watching a pickup game of basketball, as a student project.

    Go, James! Ever since I saw him portraying Harvey Milk's lover Scott Smith in the film Milk, I've adored him. I thought he was getting multiple degrees from Columbia, not NYU. In any case, I'm glad to see his work recognized. Congrats. on the Teddy!
