Rithy Panh To Serve As Locarno Jury President
Locarno runs from August 6-16.
Panh will head the festival’s Concorso Internazionale jury, which hands out the top Pardo d’Oro (Golden Leopard) prize. His gaze has reinvented the forms of contemporary filmmaking, creating a historiography in images that has exerted an incalculable influence on countless film directors,” Locarno head Giona A. Nazzaro said in a statement. “As an authoritative witness of our time, his passionate search for truth, his anti-dogmatic approach, and his genuine commitment, as well as his capacity to move freely between the numerous forms of present-day film-making were the crucial elements that prompted us, spontaneously and enthusiastically, to offer him the task of President of the Jury of the Concorso Internazionale at the 78th Locarno Film Festival.”
