In memory of William Friedkin

Director William Friedkin, best known for his Oscar-winning “The French Connection” and blockbuster “The Exorcist,” died Monday in Los Angeles. He was 87.

Positive Magazine had the opportunity to meet him in Venice 5 years ago at the Gritti Hotel in Venice. It’s a big loss for the whole film industry. He was expected at the Venice Film Festival in September at the 80th edition to introduce the remastered edition of the Exorcist.
