The rain did try, but the stars triumphed yet again. The first night of the Festival is also the first red carpet. As red as Switzerland, which is a must on August 1. But before that, the gold. The gold of the signatures of the first major guests of Locarno71, greeted by the master of the house Carlo Chatrian: Wolf-Echart Bühler, Yann Gonzalez, Jia Zhang-ke, Sean Baker, Tizza Covi and Emmanuel Carrère.
