Harmony Korine: Films Should Be A Sensory Experience
Harmony Korine is a skater, a painter, a cigar aficionado, a computer game designer and one of the most important independent American directors of the last 30 years. In the 90s, almost overnight, he went from being a teenager drinking at skate parks to the generationally heralded screenwriter of Larry Clark’s legendary Kids (1995) and then, just as quickly, he became a visionary and brilliant director in his own right.
This year, we honoured Korine with the Pardo d’onore Manor for a career that’s produced six unique feature films, dozens of shorts, music videos, experimental work and documentaries.

David Krumholtz: Comedy, Child Prodigies and Embracing Death
After a career stretching back to childhood, defining Christmas for a generation of American kids in ‘The Santa Claus’ and shining in the brilliant ‘Adams Family Values’, for a long period as a supporting actor and comedian, American actor David Krumholz has now moved into the centre of the cinematic frame with ‘Lousy Carter’ - the story of a man with unrealised potential, confronting and embracing death as an excuse to try one last time to achieve something small in his life. We sat down with Krumholz to talk about how to get out of the way of the role and service the script, feeling comfortable in the characters skin, and setting artistic standards for yourself.

Ken Loach on His Last Film: ‘The Old Oak’
Outside of perhaps Alfred Hitchcock, it’s arguable that there has never been a film director as significant in Britain as Ken Loach. In his seven decade career, Loach’s unrivalled filmography has been the most potent, artistic voice for the dispossessed in his native England. It is a tragedy for both the art form and the country that his new film will be his last. At 87, the man is drawing a line under this remarkable career, which began in the 1960s and has enjoyed multiple peaks. His final film, ‘The Old Oak’, marks a completion of a trilogy of social dramas set in the north-east of England and is as touching and as human as either of the two that came before it.

Dancing Through Decay: Sofia Exarchou's On 'Animal'
Greek filmmaker Sofia Exarchou discusses her second feature film, "Animal", which looks at the lives of so-called "animators" at beach hotels in Greece.
The film explores the challenges these employees face in a demanding job that requires constant high energy and unwavering smiles. These people use their bodies to convey raw emotions, making their physical movements a central aspect of the film's storytelling and choreography.
In our conversation, Exarchou touches on the difficulties of funding creative films like "Animal", capturing the physicality of the scenes and her sensitive portrayal of the tourism industry in her native Greece.

From Locarno to LA: Amos Sussigan's animated journey
Production designer Amos Sussigan, who served on the festival jury, engages in a thoughtful conversation about his work on Animal Farm and broader insights into the animation industry. He delves into the intricacies of character design, highlighting the challenges of capturing individuality while avoiding cartoonish stereotypes, drawing on his varied experience, including Space Jam 2.
Sussigan also touches on the (at the time) ongoing strikes in the industry and concludes with profound reflections on his preference for the role of production designer over that of director, citing the complexities of the latter in a committee-driven feature film environment. The interview offers a deep and nuanced perspective on animation and filmmaking.

Eduardo Williams: Redefining Filmmaking in Motion and Meaning
In a rich and provocative conversation, filmmaker Eduardo Williams discusses "The Human Surge 3," the would-be sequel to his 2016 work. This time, he shot it with 360-degree cameras, making for a singular cinematic experience.
He describes the interplay between script and improvisation that forms the backbone of his process, as well as the inherently political nature of cinema and the significant influence of video games on his work. Reflecting on online interactions and the potential of virtual reality in filmmaking, Williams offers deeper insights into his intense and distinctive approach to "The Human Surge 3".
Williams contrasts the grandiosity and strangeness of the title with the film's quotidian depiction of everyday life, emphasizing the looming presence of the apocalypse while spurning any obvious dramatic climax. This double perspective frustrates and subverts expectations and explodes the minutiae of the human condition into an elaborate spectrum of everyday situations.

From Script to Soul: Katie Folger's Cinematic and Comedic Evolution
Austin actress and writer Katie Folger shines in the ensemble cast of Family Portrait, a unique film about a Texas family's struggle to get a group photo.
The production took an unconventional approach, reflected in both the casting and the visual language of the film. With room to experiment, Katie valued the immersive, "dream-like" shooting experience over traditional rehearsals and a strict script.
In addition to her film work, Katie wrote "Getting in Bed with the Pizza Man", a one-woman show exploring self-discovery and empowerment. Addressing sensitive topics such as sex from the perspective of growing up in a conservative family as an actress and comedian, she describes the experience of baring her soul to an audience as a form of spiritual alchemy. Active in Austin's artistic community, she is concerned about the evolving artistic landscape and strives to preserve the city's distinctive identity.

Open Doors: Gloria Carrión and Nadean Rawlins on Cinematic Liberation
Join us for an exploration of resilience, creativity and the transformative power of cinema in the lives of our inspiring guests: director Gloria Carrión and producer Nadean Rawlins, both participants in the 2023 Open Doors Hub program focused on Latin America and the Caribbean.
Gloria shared her journey from the 2018 civil uprising in Nicaragua to the creation of Leaves of K., a film born out of oppression and forced migration. Faced with government restrictions, she found refuge in Toronto and, in a way, in Open Doors, which enabled her to develop "Pantasma", a poignant coming-of-age story that challenges notions of the enemy through animation and unique media.
Nadean, is in Locarno as the producer of "Raised by Goats" by Gibrey Allen, a film set in pre-independence Jamaica, exploring independence as individuals and as a country. She reflects on the transformative experience at Open Doors, the challenges of film funding in Jamaica and her commitment to making a difference.

Luc Jacquet: Climate Activism, Antarctica and the Poetry of Film
Luc Jacquet is an award-winning director and screenwriter with a passion for our planet and, in particular, Antarctica. This summer he was in Locarno to receive the Locarno Kids Award la Mobiliare, a recognition of the creative minds that are helping to shape the future of today's and tomorrow's younger generations.
Jacquet's work attempts to strike a balance between celebrating the beauty and poetry of nature as it is, and raising much-needed awareness of the dangers of climate change. While questioning the effectiveness of political films and the role of activists, he offers a refreshing perspective: finding an artistic response through the emotional connections that humans have with nature.
With his latest film, "Antarctica Calling", presented at the 76th edition of the Locarno Film Festival, Luc Jacquet invites the audience on a journey to feel the emotions of nature, from the majestic beauty of Antarctica to the vulnerability of its inhabitants.

Radu Jude Knows He’s Divisive, But He Loves It
Radu Jude is a Romanian filmmaker who isn't to everyone's taste. His last film was called "Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn", a provocative satire that won the Golden Bear at the Berlinale in 2021 and pushed him into the center of global cinema. It also annoyed a lot of his countrymen who frankly found it crass. Jude's new film is a near three hour experience called "Do Not Expect Too Much From the End of the World," a triptych of differing styles that leaps, without warning, into a montage documentary before finally settling into the most remarkable single take scene of the year. Jude knows his work is divisive. But let's face it, he loves that.

Marianne Slot: Lars von Trier's Producer on Defending Artistic Freedom
Imagine this: you’re in your 20s, you’ve never worked in or studied film when suddenly you find yourself producing an indisputably brilliant generational movie. Marianne Slot has now worked as Lars von Trier’s production partner since the 1990s. Over the decades her production company, Slot Machine, has been a cathedral for independent cinema. If producers were gatekeepers, Slot is the person you want holding the keys.
As a producer for renowned filmmakers such as Lars von Trier, Lucrecia Martel, and Lisandro Alonso, we asked Marianne Slot about the importance of the creative bond between the director and producer, defending artistic freedom, tough times for independent cinema, and ask her: what does a film producer actually do?

Locarno Meets • 06 | 09 | 2023
Lambert Wilson: "Being Inside One Life Wasn't Enough"
Tractors, madness, creative freedom and the heavy burden of judging art. We sit down with the prolific French actor Lambert Wilson, who is also the President of the Jury for the Locarno Film Festival, to talk about his new film, why he sees acting as a tool to extend life and ask that one crucial question: above all, is it great cinema?
Subscribe to Locarno Meets for lively conversations about art, culture life and everything in between with the likes of Lambert Wilson, Ken Loach, Harmony Korine, Marianne Slot, Luc Jacquet, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, and more.
