Don't miss the new boom of young authors redefining cinema.

Founded in 2010 with the aim of assisting the development of emerging talents, the Locarno Academy is a training program for young filmmakers, professionals, students and film critics. One of the sections, the Filmmakers Academy, involves a selection of very promising filmmakers from all over the world. During the Festival they meet at the Rialto 2 to show their work. Everyday a different program with a different focus. These screenings are open to the public.
