Will the 73rd edition of the Locarno Film Festival take place?
The 73rd edition of the Locarno Film Festival will not take place in its regular physical form, but will be replaced by Locarno 2020 – For the Future of Films, an initiative to foster auteur filmmaking and support cinema theaters. Locarno 2020 consists of a series of dedicated initiatives offering special content to both the public and industry professionals on a range of platforms which will include — as and when allowed by the constantly evolving situation — screenings at physical venues in complete safety.

Why the decision to cancel? Were other alternatives considered?
Over the past few weeks the Festival looked long and hard at possible alternatives, all of which had to be gradually abandoned. At its latest session the Festival’s Board of Governors, having taken into account the persistent health risks, even for gatherings of fewer than 1,000 people, and noting the impossibility of preserving the spirit of Locarno with solutions that at first sight might seem attractive alternatives, decided unanimously to forgo in principle the physical event.
Given the desire to maintain a presence in 2020, the Festival decided this year to launchLocarno 2020 – For the Future of Films, a unique initiative conceived to support ongoing productions, independent auteur filmmaking and cinema theaters. The initiative will feature a raft of projects on diverse platforms.

What will happen to the films usually screened at the Festival?
We felt that to mount an online, digital version of the traditional Festival, in August, would not be consistent with the spirit of the Locarno Film Festival and its mission to promote and launch films. As a result we decided to close the traditional selection of full-length features.
In consequence we are now at work onLocarno 2020 – For the Future of Films, a series of initiatives designed to support independent auteur filmmaking and cinema theaters. We are also working on a revised version of the competitions dedicated to short films.
