75th LOCARNO FILM FESTIVAL 2022
"Throughout its 75-year history, the Locarno Film Festival has occupied a unique position in the landscape of the major film festivals. Every August, for eleven days the Swiss-Italian town of Locarno, right in the heart of Europe, becomes the world capital of auteur cinema. Thousands of film fans and industry professionals meet here every summer to share their thirst for new discoveries and a passion for cinema in all its diversity. The audience is the soul of the Festival, as exemplified in the famous evenings on the Piazza Grande, whose magical setting can accommodate up to 8,000 filmgoers every night. The Locarno Film Festival offers a unique location to discover the best of national and international filmmaking: from fiction to documentaries, from feature films to shorts, from new cinematic frontiers to the rediscovery of treasures from the past.
There are images that become indelible thanks to the screens of Locarno.
And then there are those that become so thanks above all to creativity.
The leopard, its spots and prints. And then the Piazza Grande and a city dressed in yellow and black, from the store windows to the cobbled streets. The image of the edition must evoke the leopard identity of the Locarno Film Festival and the nature of the event as a meeting place for different visions and imaginations. This year the celebration will be even more important, as the Locarno Film Festival celebrates its 75th anniversary.
The selection criteria are based on the cohesion of the developed image with the Locarno Film Festival identity, its originality and versatility.
The jury – to be announced later – will favor ideas that can be developed in various formats and on digital (website, social media, app) and traditional platforms (merchandising, covers of official publications, brochures). The project chosen by the jury will win a prize of 5,000 Swiss francs.
This prize also covers remuneration for the use of the graphic concept by the Locarno Film Festival.
A further 10 projects deemed worthy according to the selection criteria will receive a general pass for the event. A selection of projects will be exhibited during the 75th edition of the Festival (August 3-13, 2022) in Locarno."
