The world premiere of James Franco collaboration Yosemite directed by Gabrielle Demeestere will close the Park City festival on January 29.

Yosemite will screen as part of the Coffee With programming strand and intertwines the lives of three fifth grade friends in the Californian suburs of Palo Alto at a time when a mountain lion is roaming the area.

The Rabbit Bandini Production is the centerpiece of Coffee With… James Franco and will focus on the content creator’s prolific output.

Past Coffee With guests have included Chad Hurley & the Russo Brothers, Jonathan Demme & Neil Young, Ted Hope and Vilmos Zsigmond.

“We are thrilled to have such a talented and passionate supporter of independent film sit down and share his knowledge and experience with the Slamdance filmmakers,” said Slamdance Films Festival director Anna Germanidi.

The 21st Slamdance will run from January 23-29.
