Locarno 74: The return of the big screen, big time
La Piazza Grande, the biggest open-air screen in the world: this year, access will be restricted to people with a Covid vaccination certificate. But in most other movie theatres the certificate is not mandatory - viewers, though, must respect the social distance rules and wear masks inside. (c)fotopedrazzini.ch
Locarno is always full of surprises, but this year s edition of the festival is doubly unique. It is not just the Covid-19 measures in place that give it a different feel. It will also be the first edition curated by Giona A. Nazzaro, a walking encyclopaedia of cinema who also doubles as an eminent expert on action movies.
âI am a non-commissioned officer,â said
Kristen Mather de Andrade about her role in West Pointâs Army Special Band as a clarinetist. Kristen just released a solo Jazz album titled
âClarao (Of Course)â where she showcases her skills as a clarinetist and vocalist. âThere is a special band in all the services. People audition for them. I won and was commissioned.â
Mather de Andrade has been the principle clarinetist for the Army Special Band since 2007, so I think itâs safe to say she is a veteran in the music business. On âClarao,â produced by Sergio Krakowski, Kristen sings in Portuguese and for some reason the sound takes me to Africa. Makes me ask myself is there a link between African music and Brazil. Her husband is Brazilian, which is the reason she said the Jazz album is in Portuguese.
