Festival di Locarno: la selezione ufficiale

Locarno è alle porte e l’edizione 2006 si preannuncia la più ricca ed eterogenea degli ultimi anni, almeno da quanto dichiarato dal direttore artistico del festival Frederic Maire. Quattro film sono stati prodotti interamente o in maniera parziale in Francia, (la Francia ha il numero più alto di film in competizione) . La rassegna poi includerebbe film prodotti in maniera parziale in Italia e due film rispettivamente per USA, Germania, Spagna e Belgio. “Abbiamo realizzato quel tipo di diversità che volevamo” ha dichiarato Maire, mercoledi in occasione del rilascio della selezione ufficiale di Locarno in partenza il 2 agosto. Occhi puntati in particolare su “Half Nelson,” vincitore del premio come miglior regia al Philadelphia film festival e nominato al Sundance per il gran premio della giuria. L’altro “Jimmy della Collina” è stato definito “un raro esempio di film Italiano prodotto al di fuori della struttura e senza supporto della Rai e della Medusa”
Tantissime prèmier e l’apertura destinata a Miami Vice. Su continua trovate il programma per esteso.
