«I wanna be loved by you»: Marilyn Monroe’s words are borrowed by Giulio Base who – now on his third mandate as artistic director of the Torino Film Festival – is not afraid to expose himself when it comes to his work and his mission, offering an event of international scope which aims to preserve the authorial quality of the movies, while staying faithful to its original roots. These are the intents voiced on November 5^th during the press conference, where the 44^th Torino Film Festival program was showcased.
