Locarno Film Festival

The 19th Locarno Film Festival was held from 23 July to 31 July 1966, in Locarno, Switzerland. [1] This year was the first festival after the departure of long-time festival director Vincio Berretta. [2] [3] [4] There was speculation that Berretta's departure was due to reoccurring accusations that he was too "left", as he let in films from China, Russia, and the Eastern Bloc to the festival long before other Western film festivals began to, and the desire for more Hollywood productions in the festival. [2] [3]

No official awards we given out this year, but the independent Youth Jury awarded Courage for Every Day directed by Ewald Schorm the grand prize. [4] [5] [6]
