Locarno Hands Artistic Director Giona A. Nazzaro Three-Year Contract Extension
Nazzaro has been Locarno’s chief since 2021
“I would like to thank President Maja Hoffmann and the entire Board of Directors of the Locarno Film Festival for the trust and esteem placed in me and in the team that I have the privilege of leading,” Nazzaro said in a statement. Directed by Bliuvaitė from a screenplay she also wrote, the film follows two 13-year-olds, Marija and Kristina, who form a unique bond at a local modeling school, where the promise of a better life pushes girls to violate their bodies in increasingly extreme ways. The program will span the work of well-known British filmmakers like David Lean, Carol Reed, and Powell and Pressburger to lesser-known directors like Seth Holt and Lance Comfort.
