Locarno Film Festival!

The discovery of a film, a director, a talent that will be the talk of the town tomorrow. In Locarno, cinema means experimentation, dialogue, new forms and education; it is a wide horizon in which to lose oneself and then rediscover or rediscover one's own taste, passion and love for this magic made of light.
