Artistic director Carlo Chatrian has presented the lineup for the 67th edition of the Festival del film Locarno (August 6 through 16). Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman and Luc Besson will attend the opening night screening of Lucy and among the other guests will be Mia Farrow, who will receive the Leopard Club Award, Juliette Binoche, Agnès Varda, Víctor Erice, Olivier Assayas, Dario Argento, Martín Rejtman, Eran Riklis, Pedro Costa, Alexander Sokurov, Lav Diaz and the list goes on.
Lined up for the Concorso Internationale are films competing for the Golden Leopard. First and second films by emerging directors are presented in the Concorso Cineasti del presente. The Fuori concorso is for “works by master filmmakers and directors of international standing, presented out of competition as world or international premieres.” The big outdoor screenings happen on the Piazza Grande, while the Signs of Life program, launched last year, presents another round of world premieres. Histoire(s) du cinéma is a collection of programs of classics and rediscoveries.
There’s an impressive series of tributes and retrospectives, one of them dedicated to the legendary Italian film production company Titanus, and Locarno also screens films made by or featuring members of its juries. This year’s Open Doors program spotlights Africa and “the Pardi di domani competition presents short and medium-length films made by young independent directors or film school students who have not yet completed their first full-length feature.”
