Since August 3, the entire city of Locarno has been in full celebratory mode, on the Piazza Grande as well as in the theaters, where the electrifying participation of viewers gave a tangible sign of the renewed desire to congregate in person. Among 226 scheduled films and 471 screenings, this year’s edition brought together the past and the future of cinema: a retrospective dedicated to Douglas Sirk, distinguished prizes awarded to veterans such as Costa-Gavras and to shining young talent such as Daisy Edgar-Jones, as well as to the poetic animation of Gitanjali Rao, joined on stage by the young participants of the Atelier du Futur, and lastly to projects focused on multidisciplinary and new media. The opening with Bullet Train and the closing with Alles über Martin Suter. Ausser die Wahrheit. establish the Piazza Grande as a privileged venue for screenings of major national and international premieres.

“This is an important Pardo d’oro for Brazilian cinema, a nation that has written milestone pages in the history of world cinema. This national cinema stands at the forefront of defending an idea of a more inclusive and free world. Regra 34 brings Brazilian cinema back to the anarchic glories of ‘cinema marginal’, a bold and political work that will surely leave behind an important legacy. The body is political.”
– Giona A. Nazzaro, Artistic Director
