Concorso Internazionale

Consisting of world or international premieres, the Concorso Internazionale assembles major films from all over the globe to compete for the Pardo d’Oro. Showcasing both established auteurs and emerging talents, classical form and experimentation, the Concorso Internazionale is a forum for the best of contemporary cinema, a competition that stakes out new territories for the art of film. This is the beating heart of the Festival’s program, the space where authoritative cinematic voices are collected and placed into the history and tradition of the Locarno Film Festival as the world capital of auteur cinema.
