Website | LFF |
The 33rd Locarno Film Festival was held from 1 to 10 August 1980 in Locarno, Switzerland. [1] The festival was shorter than in the past due to the reopening of the Venice film festival, which was held at a similar time. [1] [2] The Locarno Festival secured an increased budget with more money coming from the government and private industry, including Swiss banks and Swissair. [1] However, after the central government failed to take into account inflation, the festival's budget was not given the full increase. [3] [4] [1]
Locarno screened several films from other festivals. [4] Among the highlights were Camera Buff directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski and Breaking Glass directed by Brian Gibson, with punk singer star Hazel O'Connor's press conference for the film drawing a crowd. [4] [5] The winning pictures at the festival received prize money this year. [1]
The Golden Leopard, the festival's top prize, was awarded to To Love the Damned directed by Marco Tullio Giordana. [6] [7] [8]
Two members of the Jury were Brazilian director Carlos Diegues and Italian screenwriter Suso Cecchi D'Amico. [5]
The following films were screened in these sections: [9]
