The 71st Locarno Film Festival has come to a close, with Singaporean director Yeo Siew Hua’s “A Land Imagined” taking home the coveted Golden Leopard. Joining him on awards night was Dominga Sotomayor, whose “Thursday Till Sunday” follow-up “Too Late to Die Young” earned her Best Director laurels; the 14-hour “La Flor,” however, was not similarly honored.
Carlo Chatrian, who just served his sixth and final year as Artistic Director, said that “Locarno71 was a rich and diversified edition, just as it is in the tradition of a festival which is not afraid to approach extremes and to combine a smile with reflection. The guests who brought their experience and congeniality, were joined by new ideas that were well received.”
Here’s the full list of winners:
