Each year the mission of the Locarno Film Festival is to expand its vibrant community of film lovers, craft a world-leading program of films, and cultivate a space for genuine creative expression and discovery. The annual report brings together, in a single document, a comprehensive summary of how these activities were carried out during the year in Locarno and around the world, on-site and online. It also contains the sustainability report, drawn up according to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard, and the economic report of the event, drawn up according to Swiss GAAP FER standards.
The Locarno Film Festival Annual Report 2024 is now available. Featuring an overview of our brand vision, a detailed financial report, a slate of rich cultural initiatives, precise sustainability goals, and much more. This is a comprehensive handbook for Locarno77 with key data and contributions from our team.
