The 2023 Locarno Film Festival Lineup Features Lav Diaz, Radu Jude, Quentin Dupieux and More
Denis Côté's Mademoiselle Kenopsia The full lineup has been unveiled for the 76th Locarno International Film Festival, which will take place in the Swiss town from August 2-12.
At a glance, highlights include new films from Filipino slow cinema auteur Lav Diaz, Romanian social satirist Radu Jude, zany French funnyman Quentin Dupieux and Argentine director Eduardo Williams (who actually needs three films in a trilogy, anyway?). Also featured in this year’s lineup is Family Portrait, the feature debut from Lucy Kerr, who we included on our annual 25 New Faces of Film list last year.
Check out the full lineup below, and visit Locarno’s official website for more information.
