Giona A. Nazzaro is an accomplished film critic and author who has been involved in some of the world’s most esteemed film festivals in past years, including the Venice Film Festival as the head of the festival’s Critic’s Week.
Following the sudden departure of the Locarno Film Festival’s former Artistic Director, Lili Hinstin, Nazzaro has stepped up to the role. It’s not entirely new ground; he’s been working with Locarno Film Festival in various capacities for over a decade now. But this is a bold new responsibility for a lover of cinema, and it will be interesting to see how the festival adapts in the face of a global pandemic and an ever-changing film industry.
