Switzerland's Locarno Film Festival will celebrate Columbia Pictures' centennial with a major retro titled 'The Lady With the Torch.'
Switzerland’s Locarno Film Festival is set to celebrate the centennial of Columbia Pictures with a retrospective featuring classic titles spawned by the Hollywood studio between the dawn of sound and the late 1950s. The Locarno retro, titled “The Lady With the Torch –– The Centenary of Columbia Pictures,” is being curated by Ehsan Khoshbakht, co-director of Italy’s Il Cinema Ritrovato festival, which is dedicated to cinematic treasures of the past and organized in partnership with Switzerland’s Cinémathèque Suisse. “‘Lady With the Torch’ is an unofficial history of Columbia Pictures that celebrates big names, Oscar winners and era-defining films but pays equal attention to the B-unit and yet to be discovered masters,” Khoshbakht said in the statement.
