The Locarno Film Festival is adding a new competitive section dedicated to shorts by established filmmakers, in one of the first moves made by new artistic director Giona A. Nazzaro.
Nazzaro, a former Venice Critics’ Week chief who was appointed to head Locarno in November, is starting to put his stamp on the prominent Swiss event dedicated to indie cinema by launching the new section, which “will open a significant window of opportunity for high-profile directors experimenting in new and innovative forms and formats.”
