Cinema all'aperto itinerante: festeggiamo i 75 anni del Festival
Locarno
From to
Festival films under the stars of the region
On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the Locarno Film Festival, the Lago Maggiore and Valleys region offers the population an interesting opportunity to meet and get closer to the Festival, an appropriate tribute outside the ten days of the national film event par excellence. Thus, was born the idea of proposing a traveling openair cinema event, bringing the experience of the big screen to eight suggestive locations in the region.

Film selection
The selection of the films is curated by the Artistic Director of the Locarno Film Festival, Giona A. Nazzaro, who offers the population eight exciting titles that have made the history of the Festival and that continue to arouse great emotions at any age.
The films will be shown in their original language (Italian, French, German or English) and subtitled in Italian, in order to make the experience accessible to the region's public.
Participate and win!
During all the evenings, a person will be selected from the audience who will receive a general pass, kindly offered by the Locarno Film Festival, to participate in the 75th Locarno Film Festival which will be held from 3 to 13 August.
In addition, competitions will be offered on the social channels in order to win additional entries at the Locarno Film Festival.
Organizers
The project was born from the intercommunal Culture Commission of the region Lago Maggiore and Valleys, a group that brings together all the political heads of Culture of the region. To carry out the project, the Commission has formed a working group, whose members are: Claudio Berger, Simona Canevascini, Nancy Lunghi, Roberto Pomari, Peter Praz?a?k and Oliviero Ratti.
