The home of images
Let’s start with the Piazza Grande films: Ricki and the Flash tells a story that is extraordinary for
American cinema, to wit, a mother who, having abandoned the home (the classical luxury villa) for a
modest apartment to pursue her independent dreams, returns when it is in crisis, and, even if walking
on eggshells, animates it with her personality, her look, her spirit. A family home, solid as a rock,
is at the center of Philippe Le Guay’s new film, Floride. The man who lives there (an extraordinary
performance by Jean Rochefort) seems, on the other hand, as fragile as his failing memory; and those
walls are perhaps the only things he can hang onto… A home in Ibiza is where the protagonist of
Barbet Schroeder’s Amnesia, played by Marthe Keller, takes refuge. And it is a home, even if only
seen from the outside, on a winter evening, that features what to my mind is the most beautiful
scene in Lionel Baier’s La Vanité…
So, homes. Once they were in which sites expressed paternal authority was expressed, and as such
were a notable target for that cinema movement which accompanied the desire to change society; now,
today, the home has become an emotionally charged space. How can one not make the connection with
the mood of uncertainty we are currently experiencing? Against the backdrop of the many homes that
feature in the films in the program and in competition – there for you to discover – there are images
of those multitudes who abandon their homes to take to the road. Or even more simply, those people
who look anxiously at their homes, fearing to lose them from one day to the next.
Overtaken by the orgy of images in which we are constantly immersed, cinema may no longer be a
home for the world; and yet the world still desperately needs a home. It is Chantal Akerman who
most clearly articulates how this word can resonate. Her No Home Movie is a film about the end
of a relationship that becomes an image of the end of a home. It is at the same time perhaps the
finest tribute that can paid to a home as a place without any particular qualities yet endowed with
enormous emotional value. Home is a space for sharing an emotion. In this sense, home functions to
an extent as a frame, taking a portion of space, (and time) and confers a particular value upon it. So
then film is perhaps the home we lack in terms of being able to read our very confusing present era.
Locarno is a home for film like every other festival – even if every director has the illusion that “his”
festival is one that provides a more welcoming home than the others, and in our case a giant step
forward will be taken when the new “home” becomes available. Like every other festival (well...
maybe not really like all the others), Locarno is the place which preserves and renews that exchange
between the gaze and a community, between a story that is shared and stories to be discovered. Hence
our insistence that every year the Festival program gives due space to the re-reading of film history
via awards, tributes, special programs. There is no home without a hearth, a place to come together,
and listen to stories that come from all over the world and end up moving us deeply. Histoire(s) du
cinéma, which this year expands to include all the retrospective programs, is precisely that hearth,
full of the many stories we have encountered over a year’s work which we have decided to share
with you. Locarno’s stories this year bear the names of Marco Bellocchio and Michael Cimino, Marlen
Khutsiev and Bulle Ogier, Edward Norton and Andy Garcia, Walter Murch and Georges Schwizgebel.
We are grateful to them for having accepted our invitation.
Finally, I like the thought that the filmmaker least likely to evoke the idea of home should be
the subject of our major tribute within this program. As you know, #Locarno68 is devoting its
retrospective to Sam Peckinpah, who, when he filmed a home, in The Osterman Weekend turned it
into a theater of modern warfare! And yet the films of this director, whose name evokes deserts
and guns, outlaws and punch-ups, have also become a home, in their own way, in the sense that
many people all over the world have elected to make it theirs. And I believe that if Peckinpah has so
many admirers it is not only because he is an extraordinary director but because at the heart of his
stories there is a palpable feeling of belonging that is the basis for every union. One has only to watch
that unforgettable sequence in Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, accompanied by the lyrical “Knockin’on
Heaven’s Door”, which depicts a woman’s farewell to her partner, for us to understand that home is
far more than merely four walls.
The Concorso internazionale offers a program in which two first films play alongside those of a group
of directors who have gained an appreciative audience on the international festival circuit. Some
of them are making a welcome return to Locarno, others have returned to filmmaking after a long
silence. As is now a Locarno tradition, the competition includes documentaries, personal films, more
traditional fictions and those of hybrid genres.
The Concorso Cineasti del presente, for first and second films, is a hotbed for the cinema of the future.
This year we are very pleased with a selection that reflects the stylistic, formal and geographical diversity
we hold so dear. Fictions enhanced by top-notch casts, and film essays, politically important works, and
touching dramas that all reflect the way young filmmakers see film and the world around them.
A work of discovery carried on also by the Pardi di domani section, that presents in its two competitions
short and medium length films made by Swiss and international young filmmakers.
Signs of Life is the section for films that experiment with new forms of narrative. It comprises 8 titles,
all world premieres, each of which offers up a unique visual and audio experience. We are delighted
for the section to host established filmmakers such as José Luis Guérin, Pierre Léon, Massimo
d’Anolfi and Martina Parenti, Travis Wilkerson and others whose visionary qualities are about to be
discovered.
This year the Fuori concorso section welcomes, more than ever, films of great human and artistic
profundity from renowned filmmakers such as Claire Simon, Andrea Segre, Stéphane Goël, Alberto
Fasulo. Rounding out the program there is the short film section and work that veers off the beaten track.
The Piazza Grande program enables a journey through space and time, with films that revisit moments
in past and recent history and those that investigate present day emotional journeys. There is an
exceptionally strong American presence, with 4 very different films in which tears and laughter,
adrenalin and emotion take over.
In addition to the 16 feature films the Piazza Grande program this year also includes 3 short films.
These are works of varying lengths that enchanted us, above all for their visionary and poetic qualities:
from the Chauvet cave in Le dernier passage, to the journey through a timeless world imagined by
Mario Martone, and the latest jewel from Georges Schwizgebel.
There are 7 Swiss films in these sections, all characterized by their own unique stamp. In addition to
his latest film, Erlkönig, Schwizgebel also warrants a tribute to his entire career. The Piazza Grande
will also feature the above-mentioned Amnesia and La Vanité. Particularly noteworthy is the project
of the portmanteau film, Heimatland, which I am sure will have a major impact on its autumn release,
and not just because it brings together the best of the new generation of Swiss filmmakers. Original
and touching, Keeper sees Kacey Mottet Klein in a leading role. There are two films Fuori concorso,
Stéphane Goël’s Fragments du paradis and Yes No Maybe by Kaspar Kasics.
Carlo Chatrian, Artistic Director
#Locarno68: A shared experience
The cultural scene of which the Festival del film Locarno is a part is ever more crowded and
competitive. The range of cultural events on offer increases year on year and cinema-going
is undergoing a period of upheaval. While on the one hand this works to the disadvantage of
cinemas, on the other it does not seem to impact adversely on the success of the Festival. But
in this context it is crucial that the quality of what is on offer is on a par with, and supports, the
artistic programming. An experience ever more rewarding and involving, which this year we
wanted to enhance by adding new elements.
Actors, directors, the general public, professionals and journalists all feature on the posters
for 2015, for it is they who constitute the life of the Festival. This choice is far from being
purely symbolic, as it reflects the desire to put all categories of festival-goer at the center of
the experience, so as to ensure they remember the event for the quality and diversity of its
offerings. A quality that is reflected on the one hand in the festival’s organizational efficiency,
which we refine year on year, but also in making structural improvements with a dual objective
in mind: to enable ever greater participation on the part of the public and – at the same time –
to facilitate the work of the professionals. And it is in light of these intersecting demands that
this year we have re-thought the new entrance for delegates on the Piazza Grande and the new
Press Center in Largo Zorzi that hosts our press conferences. This involves two new structures,
which, while remaining dedicated to use by professionals, have now been inserted into the
Festival’s public areas and hence offers everyone an opportunity to add a new piece to the
mosaic that is the experience #Locarno68.
Particular attention has also been given to digital communications, seeing a total make-over
of the internet site. A platform devised to be an efficient tool, but also a source of enhanced
thematic material and multi-media content, building and updating the inter-action guaranteed
by social networks.
Always mindful of offering a richer experience to festival-goers – and working in collaboration
with the Tourist Office Ascona Locarno – the welcome provided for Festival audiences assumes
an even greater importance. Be that on pardo.ch with a new section of practical and tourist
info, or the event’s locations, with a new service that has a Festival support team actively
seeking to meet visitors’ demands.
Wishing all festival-goers a brilliant #Locarno68, it only remains for me to thanks the event’s
partners. A thank you that is no less heartfelt for being habitual, since it is their loyalty and
passion that makes possible an event which aims to make culture accessible and a highly
rewarding personal experience.

Retrospettiva Sam Peckinpah
Considered one of the great Hollywood rebels, Sam Peckinpah (1925 – 1984) made films that have made an impact on the collective
imagination. The Festival is screening the director’s entire cinematic oeuvre, – in many cases, showing newly restored prints – and
a selection of his television work, collaborations and films in which he featured as an actor. The screenings will be accompanied by
discussions of Peckinpah’s work, with contributions from specially invited filmmakers and film critics, and a round-table discussion.
The retrospective has been curated by the programmer and film historian Roberto Turigliatto. The publication that accompanies the
event, edited by Fernando Ganzo and published by Capricci, will be available in both French and English.
The retrospective is supported for the third time running by the Swiss Post. The event has been co-organized with the Cinémathèque
suisse and the Cinémathèque française. In addition to the two cinémathèques with whom the Festival has collaborated in putting the
retrospective together, several other institutions will also screen this tribute to Peckinpah, including the Filmpodium in Zurich, the
Cinémas du Grütli in Geneva, the Museo Nazionale del Cinema in Turin and the Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York.
Among the guests attending Locarno: the Mexican actress Isela Vega, the Austrian actress Senta Berger and the producer and
Peckinpah’s collaborator Kathy Haber.

Open Doors Partner
A programme funded by the EU
With support from the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) of the Swiss Foreign Ministry, Open Doors aims to
support and highlight directors from a region in the South or the East where independent cinema is vulnerable. Every year this
initiative is devoted to a different region, comprising a Co-production Lab and public screenings. This year, Open Doors is devoted
to four countries in the Maghreb: Algeria, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia.
Open Doors Screenings
The Open Doors Screenings offer the public a selection of films that are particularly representative of the cinematic world of the
chosen region.

Open Doors: the Co-production Lab
The thirteenth edition, which will take place August 8 – 11, presents a selection of 12 projects from the four countries from the
Maghreb. Their directors and producers will have the opportunity to have contact with potential partners, mainly European, in order
to encourage financing of their projects, which would be otherwise difficult to complete.
Various workshops will be organized for the films’ representatives, dealing with presentation techniques (pitch training run by
Sibylle Kurz) and issues relating to production and distribution in independent cinema.
Thanks to a collaboration with EAVE (PUENTES Europe – Latin America Producers Workshop), the projects’ representatives will have
a chance to participate in a session on traditional and alternative distribution, held by Sarah Calderón.
Open Doors
A panel about the different funding possibilities available for films from the Maghreb and the Arab world in general, held by Jean des
Forêts (Petit Film/EAVE), will be offered to the Open Doors participants and interested professionals.
Some projects will also receive script-writing support thanks to a partnership with the TorinoFilmLab, and one of the selected
projects may be presented at the next edition of the Torino festival.
As with the last edition, three producers from the films presented will also have the chance to participate in the Producers Network
of the Marché du Film during the 2016 Cannes Festival.
At the end of the four days lab, various awards will be offered. An award of 50,000 CHF is financed by the Open Doors initiative
in collaboration with the town of Bellinzona and the Swiss production fund Visions Sud Est, also supported by the DSC. ICAM
(Investing in Culture & Art in the South Mediterranean), a new initiative funded by the European Union (Programme Med Culture),
will offer, for the first time, a contribution of 20,000 Euros for the development or post-production. The CNC (Centre national du
cinéma et de l’image animée) will offer a prize worth 10,000 Euros and ARTE will finance a prize of 6,000 Euros. MAD Solutions,
the first Pan-Arab independent studio, will select a project and award it a distribution deal comprising the costs of public relations,
marketing, print and publicity.
Open Doors is organized in close collaboration with the Festival del film Locarno’s Industry Office and among its supporters counts
ACE (Ateliers du cinéma européen), EAVE (European Audiovisual Entrepreneurs) and the Producers Network Marché du Film (Cannes
Festival). The Festival also draws on input from Alex Moussa Sawadogo, an expert in African cinema and director of the film festival
Afrikamera in Berlin.

(Unversità della Svizzera italiana). In what has become a regular guest feature, Italy’s CSC (Experimental Cinematography Center) will
also be taking part.
CISA is a higher education college specializing in film and television: its two-year core program studies the image as an experience
and a project, leading to a diploma in Film/Visual Design, while the third and final year is devoted to a specialization in screenwriting,
production, directing, photography, sound or editing, after which graduates receive a federal post-diploma in Cinema/Television
Filmmaking. At this year’s Festival, CISA will be showing diploma films and second-year works.
The CSC Foundation (with which CISA has signed a long-term cooperation agreement) is the most prominent Italian-speaking institution
for film education, research, experimentation and conservation, addressing cinema, documentary, television drama, advertising and
animation. It has a twofold structure, consisting of the National Film School and the National Film Archive. At Locarno it will be presenting
a range of recent work by students from the Center’s various departments in L’Aquila, Milan, Rome, Palermo and Turin.
The SUPSI degree course in Visual Communication is focused on moving image design and animation as a transverse subject with
regard to the various branches of graphic design and new media. Students create web advertising features, apps, infographics,
promotional and short video art films, and these are also the categories represented by the works selected for the Festival.
For a number of years the Mendrisio-based Academy of Architecture has hosted workshops linked to the chair in “Styles and
Techniques of Cinema” held by Marco Müller. Filming Architecture is a field study group led in 2015 by Ila Bêka and Louise Lemoine
(two of Europe’s most remarkable filmmakers), which has yielded a collection of short films that allow the viewer to mentally
reconstruct a complex space, on the basis of a series of frames complemented by detail shots.

Industry Days
8 – 10 August
With the support of:
Paradigm Lost
The Industry has lost its paradigm; it’s still facing the challenges of the digital era but, as with any
other revolution, this also offers new opportunities and innovation. Some companies from more
traditional backgrounds have already successfully adapted to the ways media is being consumed by
new viewers, while others have not. Many factors contribute to the varying facets of development
– as we all know, changes are naturally slower in more diverse areas such as Europe, which
encompasses many different countries, languages, cultures and film laws.
Reinventing traditional business models and trying out new strategies for circulating films, custommade for each (there is no one-size-fits-it-all!), will help reboot the industry and also engage new
younger audiences such as non-cinema goers and digital natives.
Considering these major challenges the Locarno Industry Days, with their different initiatives and
networking opportunities, set out to provide a platform that brings together professionals from all
stages of the film value chain and from all over the world, to brainstorm, think up new ideas and forge
new business relations. With the fourth edition of StepIn, Industry Days deliver a think tank to tackle
specific issues relating to the dissemination of art-house film with a very concrete approach.
Following Locarno’s long tradition of discovering new talents, this year the Industry Days are adding
one important ingredient to the mix of industry participants: a delegation of young professionals.
The idea is to encourage an inter-generational exchange between industry professionals, so
(following a pilot edition in 2014) the Industry Academy, part of Locarno Summer Academy, is
officially launched this year. Bringing together 11 young participants from 10 countries, the Industry
Academy is a very practical shortcut to the film industry with a strong European and International
dimension. It offers a tailor-made training program to the young professionals, who come from the
areas of sales, traditional and online distribution, marketing, exhibition and programming.
So here’s to creating spaces where younger and older generations of professionals meet and are
encouraged to exchange thoughts, experiences, ideas and visions for a successful future.
Nadia Dresti, Delegate of the Artistic Director, Head of International
Industry Days
Locarno Industry Days Initiatives
Alliance For Development (8 – 10 August)
A pilot project of a new initiative launched in 2015 by the Industry Office of the Festival del film
Locarno with the support of the Federal Office of Culture (FOC) Switzerland, (in the context
of the MEDIA compensatory measures), Centre national du cinéma et de l’image animée
(CNC), France, Ministero dei beni e delle attività culturali e del turismo (MiBACT), Italy and the
Filmföroderungsanstalt (FFA), Germany. Its concrete aim is to encourage co-development and coproductions between several of these countries around projects that offer natural opportunities
for organic, creative and financing partnerships. It will consist in proposing 5 projects to the
European industry key players attending the Locarno Industry Days that, for the majority of
them, have already benefited from grants allocated by the recently created development funds
between France-Italy and Italy-Germany. The launch of the French-German one is due for this
year. Switzerland being the natural co-producing partner of France, Germany and Italy, it seems
a perfect match to offer a specific platform to contribute to the existing common effort of these
countries to intensify co-development at an early stage, thus also including Switzerland. The teams
(director/producers) of the five chosen projects will come to the Locarno Industry Days to present
and discuss their projects in the Alliance For Development tailor-made programme consisting of
a mix of individual meetings set up in advance with potential partners (co-producers, funders,
international sales agents, distributors) and networking activities to favour additional contacts.
StepIn (Sunday, 9 August)
StepIn, launched four years ago, is an initiative designed as an interdisciplinary and international
exchange platform in which new strategies for distribution, exhibition and sales of auteur cinema
are discussed and developed.
The StepIn morning will be dedicated to closed working sessions – the brainstorming part of the
StepIn Day – gathering distributors, exhibitors, sales agents and filmmakers, including members
from StepIn partner organizations Europa Distribution, Europa International, Europa Cinemas,
and Fera as well as producers, funders and festivals to tackle a specific challenge pertaining to the
future of distribution of art-house films in Europe and abroad.
A short keynote will start off the afternoon, open plenary session of StepIn. In the debrief part
of the day, each working group shares a round up of their discussion, highlighting the greatest
challenges and sharing inspirations, ideas and recommendations to adapt to them. Following each
presentation is a Q&A and a discussion session involving the audience.
StepIn.ch (Saturday, 8 August)
Initially designed as a one-of conference to address the new situation Switzerland faced after
its exit from the Creative Europe MEDIA programme of the European Union in 2014, we quickly
realized that there is a demand by Swiss and European film professionals to discuss specific
challenges the Swiss film industry is confronted with. For the upcoming edition, we will focus on
the (lack of) visibility of Swiss films on national and international VoD platforms. After a case study
of a European VoD platform, an interactive forum will follow during which representatives from
the Swiss and European film industry, Swiss film promotion agencies and cultural and political
institutions will discuss the current situation and share ideas about possible strategies to improve
the visibility of Swiss films on VoD. Questions and comments from the audience are encouraged.
The panel is organized in partnership with Festival Tous Ecrans.
Industry Days
Locarno Industry Academy (5 – 12 August)
The Industry Academy has been designed as a very practical shortcut to the film industry with a
strong European and international dimension, and to help young professionals to extend their own
network of contacts. This first edition will welcome ten participants from nine European countries
and one from Mexico, exploring the perspective of an international opening of this program.
This new initiative has been developed in close cooperation with Europa International, Europa
Distribution and Europa Cinemas, with the support of the Swiss Federal Office of Culture in the
context of MEDIA compensatory measures.
First Look on Israeli Cinema (8 – 10 August)
The Festival del film Locarno’s First Look is dedicated to Israel this year.
Initiated in 2011, First Look presents films in post-production from a different country each year.
Thanks to a partnership with the Israel Film Fund, this year’s First Look will show six films in postproduction, each introduced by its producer to the various international sales agents, funders,
distributors and festival programmers attending Locarno.
A jury composed of three industry professionals will award the best film with an in-kind prize for
post-production services worth 60.000 Euros sponsored by Rotor Film and an in-kind prize for
advertising services worth 5.500 Euros offered by Le Film Français.
In light of some of the reactions that this year’s edition has provoked, the Festival has decided to
change the name of the initiative, re-naming it “First Look”, as the previously used “Carte Blanche”
did not reflect accurately enough the way in which the project is organized and gave rise to
misinterpretations.
Match-Me (8 –10 August)
Launching this year is Match-Me, a new initiative that gives continuity to the past editions of the
post-production showcase through a partnership with First Look partners from previous years:
Cinema do Brasil, CinemaChile, Proimagenes Colombia and IMCINE (Mexico). Each of them
will invite to Locarno up to four upcoming producers to introduce their works to potential coproducers, funds or sales companies. Additionally, a series of professional lunches with Industry
key players will help create a fertile networking in a productive “Latino’s Corner”.
Industry Days are organized with the support of the Swiss Federal Office of Culture in the context
of MEDIA compensatory measures.
Industry Days
Locarno Summer Academy
5 – 15 August
Founded in 2010 with the aim of contributing to the development of emerging talents, the Locarno
Summer Academy is the Festival del film Locarno’s training program for young film professionals
and students. The Locarno Summer Academy came about from a desire to maximize Locarno’s
qualities as a meeting place and as a place of exchange for thinking about film, taking advantage of
the Festival’s overall structure and its numerous guests.
The 6th edition of the Locarno Summer Academy will welcome an increased number of 90 young
film talents from all over the world, thanks to the launch of a new academy, the Locarno Industry
Academy, dedicated to junior professionals involved in distribution, sales, marketing, exhibition
and programming.
Each of the five distinct initiatives aims at a different participant target, thus offering a range
of access levels and tailor-made activities: from a more general introduction for the youngest
to training new film critics, designing a specific workshop for the new generation of industry
professionals and a special journey for emerging filmmakers working on their first feature.
The Locarno Filmmakers Academy involves 15 promising filmmakers from the best international
Film schools who will enjoy daily sessions with top-level representatives from the world of
film, including directors, actors, producers, festival directors and training experts (among past
tutors: Werner Herzog, Abel Ferrara, Lav Diaz, Pedro Costa, Agnès Varda, Victor Erice, Aleksandr
Sokurov). Since 2014, trainees share the Filmmakers Academy experience with the 6 young talents
selected for the Cannes Festival’s Résidence Cinéfondation. This year, The Locarno Filmmakers
Academy welcomes two important new partners: Swatch and Red Bull. One artist of the Swatch Art
Peace Hotel residency project in Shanghai will join the ranks of the participants and the Red Bull
Music Academy will host a master class with the composer Brian Reitzell.
The Locarno Critics Academy involves 10 aspiring young film critics. The participants will work
under the editorial guidance of Eric Kohn (Indiewire), Brian Brooks (Film Society of Lincoln Center in
New York), Ruedi Widmer (ZHdK), Florian Keller (SVFJ) and Stefan Gubser (Cineman.ch). During the
festival, they will be required to write about various films and events on a daily basis for Pardolive
and other outlets in addition to meeting with established film critics and various other members of
the film community. This initiative has been developed thanks to support of the Federal Office of
Culture.
The Locarno Industry Academy has been designed as a very practical shortcut to the film industry
with a strong European and international dimension, and to help young professionals to extend
their own network of contacts. This first edition will welcome 10 participants from 9 European
countries and 1 from Mexico, exploring the perspective of an international opening of this
program. This new initiative has been developed in close cooperation with Europa International,
Europa Distribution and Europa Cinemas, with the support of the Swiss Federal Office of Culture in
the context of MEDIA compensatory measures.
The Locarno Summer Academy also comprises two other initiatives:
Already in its 15th edition, the Documentary Summer School is a residential academic program
jointly organized by the Università della Svizzera italiana and the Festival del film Locarno, in
collaboration with la Semaine de la critique.
The Documentary Summer School is open to up to 25 undergraduate and early-stage graduate
students in the fields of film, media and communication studies. This year the Documentary
Summer School addresses the broad issue of ethics in documentary filmmaking. In its 5 days of
lectures, meetings and screenings, the Documentary Summer School explores a wide range of
ethically-charged topics, with a particular focus on the representation of others, a pressing matter
in this era, when images can be circulated quickly and pervasively.
Now in its 56th edition, Cinema&Gioventù brings together 33 students from Swiss and north
Italian colleges, vocational schools and universities. Participants will have the chance to
experience the Festival as protagonists themselves, for instance as jury members and/or privileged
viewers, meeting directors and actors and participating in meetings with experts in the field.
Cinema&Gioventù is a project of the Dipartimento dell’educazione, della cultura e dello sport
(DECS) of the Canton of Ticino organized by Bellinzona’s Castellinaria International Young Film
Festival.
“The expanding, but increasingly fine-tuned offering of the Locarno Summer Academy has made it a
workshop that covers the whole professional skill set of filmmaking, and as a result it has become one of
our most keenly fostered core projects. Locarno Summer Academy has a strategic role to play: not just
because it represents a seamless continuation of the Festival’s own mission of discovering new talents
and fostering diverse filmmaking skills, but also because it nurtures and gives meaning to the idea of the
Festival as an all-round experience, a place where knowledge is passed on between artists and spectators
in a process of mutual growth.” Carlo Chatrian, the Festival’s Artistic Director
The Locarno Summer Academy enjoys support from the Ernst Göhner Stiftung (Zug) and of the
Prof. Otto Beisheim-Stiftung (Baar).

Unique moments at the Festival del film Locarno.
UBS has been supporting
the FestivaldelfilmLocarno
forover30years
UBS’s commitment to the Festival
del film Locarno, which started as a
modest, local sponsorship, has
helped the event develop into an
important cultural happening over the
last three decades. The festival is
not only one of the most important
international film festivals, it ranks
as one of Switzerland’s top events.
This puts it on par with the likes of
Art Basel, the Montreux Jazz Festival,
Weltklasse Zurich and Athletissima
Lausanne, which are also supported
by UBS. The Festival del film Locarno

continues to thrill audiences with
its youthful verve and clear identity.
It seduces them with its unique
atmosphere and its challenging,
high-quality program.
PrixduPublicUBS
UBS has also been the title sponsor of
the “Prix du Public UBS,” the increasingly popular people’s choice award,
for more than 10 years. In addition to
official juries composed of filmmakers
and other creative artists, the festival
also has a jury made up of the general
public, which rates the films shown
every evening on the Piazza Grande.
The winner of last year's CHF 30,000
prize was a Swiss production entitled
“Schweizer Helden” (Swiss Heroes) by
Peter Luisi. This demonstrates that in
the eyes of the international audience
in Locarno, the Swiss film industry can
keep up with the best in the world.
EveoftheFestival“Prefestival”
Thanks to the support of UBS, visitors
can benefit from a free screening in
the Piazza Grande on the eve of the
official opening of the Festival.

Enjoy unique film moments with Swisscom as main sponsor
of the Locarno Film Festival
From 5 to 15 August, around 160,000 film buffs from all over the world will once again
gather on the Piazza Grande, as Locarno becomes the worldʼs capital of auteur cinema.
Swisscom is supporting the Locarno Film Festival as main sponsor for the 19th time and
will present two Pardo dʼonore Swisscom awards to directors Michael Cimino and Marco
Bellocchio.
The first Pardo dʼonore Swisscom goes to the American director, screenplay writer and producer
Michael Cimino, whose best-known works include «Thunderbolt and Lightfoot», «Heavenʼs Gate»
and «The Deer Hunter» (which can be viewed on Swisscom TV). The winner of the second award
is Marco Bellocchio, an Italian film director, scriptwriter and producer, whose film «I Pugni in
Tasca» was premiered at the Locarno Film Festival exactly 50 years ago, when it won the Silver
Sail.
The unique atmosphere of the Locarno Film Festival on the banks of Lake Maggiore, surrounded
by mountains, is always an inspiring experience. Fittingly, visitors to this yearʼs festival will be able
to use the official festival app «Locarno68», produced by Swisscom, to create their own
extraordinary memory and become part of the festival with a so-called «LeoPardo». Users of the
app can take a «Pardo Selfie» and convert the image into a festival poster. They can then share
their personalised poster with friends via social media under the hashtag #IAMPARDO. They can
enter the competition by uploading it to an online gallery which, thanks to Swisscom and the best
network, can be done easily from anywhere. The festival poster with the most «likes» each day will
win a Samsung Galaxy S6 edge.
This year, Swisscom is again ensuring that communication at the festival runs smoothly. To enable
the 900 or so media representatives to send their data all over the world, Swisscom is equipping
the press center with state-of-the-art infrastructure and wireless Internet access.

Expo Milano 2015 - Short-film contest
Presence Switzerland and the Festival del film Locarno have joined forces to organise a
short-film competition on the theme of nutrition in connection with Expo Milano 2015 and in
collaboration with Swiss and Italian film schools.
The Swiss and Italian film schools responded positively and have selected the following
students to take part in the project:
Carina Freire, Roman Hüben and Gregor Frei, ECAL Lausanne
Alice Riva, HEAD Geneva
Daniele Lucca, CISA Lugano
Monica Fenu, Andrea Labate and Marco Serpenti, Centro Sperimentale di
Cinematografia, Milan
• Luana Giardino and Simone Pizzi, Civica Scuola di Cinema, Milan
•
•
•
•
These students have produced short documentary films on regional products and their
producers. Adriano Schrade, of the Associazione REC, supervised the production and the
students. The format of the documentary was left to the students to decide, the only
restriction being that it should be three minutes long and contain no dialogue. Apart from this,
the film-makers were free to treat the theme as they wished.
A Swiss and an Italian student each went to one of the five following food producers and
medallists of the national competition on regional products:
•
•
•
•
•
"Pasticceria Marnin" in Locarno for its panettone
"Chäsi Girenbad" in Girenbad-Hinwil for its Girenbaderli cheese
"Boucherie des Remparts" in Villeneuve for its country-style pâté
"Gasthaus Alte Post" in Zillis, for its nut tart
"Pêcherie Clerc & fils", in Prangins, Nicolas Clerc for his fish products
In July, the ten films will be shown at padiglionesvizzero.ch and published on social
