ABOUT  

The Locarno Film Festival aims to promote arthouse cinema of artistic merit; to provide a showcase for major new films of the year from around the world; to take stock, in its competitive sections, of the new perspectives of filmmaking expression, concentrating especially on such new film directors that command international attention.  

The Pardi di domani section presents as a world or international premiere short (up to 40 minutes) and medium-length films (between 41 and 59 minutes) of all genres in its international competition entitled “Concorso Internazionale”. The jury will award several cash prizes.
