A Locarno Film Festival Programming Game
Welcome to Piazza Grande, the legendary open-air cinema at the heart of the Locarno Film Festival. For one week each August, 8,000 people gather under the stars to discover cinema that challenges, provokes, and transforms.
Each choice affects three scores: Critics (reviews, awards buzz, and artistic credibility), Audience (attendance, word-of-mouth, and popular appeal), and Industry (distributors, sales agents, sponsors, and market interest). The Pardo d'Oro awaits the programmer who can satisfy all three.
