Website | Locarno Film Festival |
The 10th Locarno Film Festival was held in mid-July 1957 in Locarno, Switzerland. [1] This was the festival's return after the previous year's festival had been canceled due to conflict between film producers and Swiss film distributors over market fees. [2]
Michelangelo Antonioni's film Il grido was honored with a best picture award from the Swiss Association of Film Journalists, despite its censorship battle in Italy. [3] 12 Angry Men directed by Sidney Lumet and The Young Stranger directed by John Frankenheimer were also well received at the festival, winning Swiss-Italian Radio critic's awards. [3]
The following films were screened in these sections: [4]
