She Will © Property of Popcorn Group

The Locarno Film Festival is delighted to announce that the Gala premiere of Fuori Concorso will be dedicated to the psychological thriller She Will, a powerful debut by Franco-British Director Charlotte Colbert. The Piazza Grande will be screening the World Premiere of Sto minut iz zhizni Ivana Denisovicha (100 Minutes) by Russian director Gleb Panfilov, who already won a Golden Leopard in 1969.

Everything is ready for Locarno74, including the latest titles in the official selection.

The Gala Premiere of the Fuori concorso section, scheduled for August 5 at 5.00 p.m. at La Sala, will present the World Premiere of Franco-British director Charlotte Colbert’s debut feature, She Will, followed by a Q&A with cast and filmmakers. The film explores the story of Veronica Ghent (Alice Krige) who after a double mastectomy, goes to a healing retreat in rural Scotland with her young nurse Desi (Kota Eberhardt). The film comes from seasoned producer Edward R. Pressman (The Crow, American Psycho), and stars Actors Alice Krige (Star Trek: First Contact, The OA, Carnival Row), Kota Eberhart (X-Men: Dark Phoenix), Malcolm McDowell (Bombshell, A Clockwork Orange), and BAFTA^® Award winner Rupert Everett (The Happy Prince, My Best Friend’s Wedding), with editing by Yorgos Mavropsaridis (The Favourite, The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) and an original score by Clint Mansell (Black Swan, Requiem for a Dream, Moon).

Sto minut iz zhizni Ivana Denisovicha (100 Minutes)

The Piazza Grande program will be enriched by the new work of Russian director Gleb Panfilov, who already won a Golden Leopard in 1969 for his debut feature V ogne broda net (No Path Through Fire, 1968) and a Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1987 for Tema (The Theme, 1979). Sto minut iz zhizni Ivana Denisovicha (100 Minutes) will be screened during the evening of Friday, August 13. Gleb Panfilov's latest tour de force: 100 Minutes, brings a new cinematic dimension to the life of Ivan Denisovich Shukhov, a literary hero whose tragic fate fascinated readers throughout the world and earned its creator, Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, the Nobel prize for literature. 100 Minutes is a tale of thousands of Soviet soldiers who fought the Nazis and whose fate was to be captured by the Nazis and become – however briefly – prisoners of war. Stalin's justice, meted out on the prisoners who came back, was swift: ten years of harsh labor in the Siberian camps. What then was the reason for prisoners like Ivan Denisovich to stay alive? What motivated them to wake up every morning to face another day of hell? Panfilov's film answers these questions.
