John Travolta will be honored with a lifetime achievement award at the upcoming Torino Film Festival in Turin. The iconic actor’s directorial debut, “Propeller One-Way Night Coach,” will get its second international festival screening there after premiering out-of-competition at the Cannes Film Festival in May.
The Torino Film Festival, which is Italy’s preeminent event for young directors and indie cinema, underlined that Travolta’s filmography comprises a robust representation of standout movies in recent Hollywood history, spanning “from ‘Saturday Night Fever’ to ‘Grease,’ ‘Urban Cowboy,’ ‘Pulp Fiction,’ ‘Get Shorty,’ ‘Face/Off,’ and ‘Hairspray,’” according to a statement.
