Call for creative ambassadors

The must-see destination for film lovers every summer is Locarno, in Italian-speaking Switzerland. Indeed, one of the most original, oldest, and most prestigious festivals on the global scene is between Lake Maggiore and the Swiss mountains. Today the Locarno Film Festival is the meeting point for films that are actual discoveries, a local and international audience, the stars of the seventh art, and audiovisual professionals from every country. The unrepeatable encounters, favored by the city's unique atmosphere, allow new talents to make a name for themselves, stars to show their most unseen side, and audiences to rediscover the pleasure of watching a film together in one of the world's largest open-air cinemas: the Piazza Grande.
