Vor zwei Tagen haben wir an dieser Stelle von der Ratifizierung des Vertragswerkes von Locarno durch den deutschen Reichstag berichtet, heute können wir seine Unterzeichnung in London vermelden. Mit dem feierlichen Procedere hält sich der Kommentar aus dem Hamburger Anzeiger vom 1. Dezember 1925 indes nicht auf, sondern bekennt sich noch einmal sehr nüchtern und doch mit aller Verve zu den Vertragsinhalten. Der Autor ist sich sicher, eine historische Stunde erlebt zu haben, und will die abschließende Beurteilung doch nachfolgenden Historikergenerationen überlassen. Von dem traurigen Ende der Vereinbarungen von Locarno durch das Hitler-Regime, das 1936 einen im Vorjahr abgeschlossenen französisch-sowjetischen Beistandspakt zum Vorwand nahm, den Vertrag zu kündigen und ins entmilitarisierte Rheinland einzumarschieren, konnte er naturgemäß nichts ahnen. Es liest Frank Riede.

In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, David Peck speaks with filmmaker Eisha Marjara about her new film Calorie, a story rooted in the emotional aftershocks of the 1985 Air India bombing. Drawing from her own family history and loss, Marjara unpacks the complex layers of grief, identity, and resilience embodied in Monica—a single mother living in the long shadow of tragedy. Together, they explore how personal trauma intersects with political and cultural histories, and how storytelling can reveal universal truths that bridge cultures and foster empathy. Calorie opens in theaters on November 28 and will be available elsewhere soon.Eisha Marjara gained recognition with her NFB docudrama Desperately Seeking Helen, winning the Critic's Choice Award at Locarno and the Jury Prize at München. She later wrote and directed. The Tourist, House for Sale, and the award-winning feature Venus. Her NFB short documentary Am I the Skinniest Person You've Ever Seen? won the Betty Youson Award for Best Canadian Short at the 2024 Hot Docs Festival, as well as Best Documentary at Frontdoc, and at It's All True film festival.Calorie is her most recent feature to date, inspired by real events.David Peck is a writer, speaker, and award-winning podcaster who works at the intersection of storytelling, social change, and meaningful dialogue.

Die Regierungskoalition war darüber zerbrochen, aber mit den Stimmen der nach dem Austritt der DNVP verbliebenen Koalitionäre von Zentrum, DVP, BVP und DDP sowie denen der oppositionellen SPD ratifizierte der deutsche Reichstag die Verträge von Locarno dennoch mit klarer Mehrheit. Der Hamburger Anzeiger widmete diesem Ereignis am 28. November 1925 weite Teile seiner Titelseite. Statt für den Sachbericht haben wir uns für den Kommentar entschieden, der sich – wenig überraschend bei der liberalen Ausrichtung dieser Zeitung – sehr erleichtert von dem Abstimmungsergebnis zeigt. Von Euphorie hält der mit C.P. zeichnende Autor sich fern, erläutert aber mit hanseatischer Sachlichkeit die Vorteile der neuen europäischen Friedensordnung gegenüber dem vorangegangenen Zustand. Dass sich Lob für den Reichstag mit vorsichtiger Kritik an Kanzler Luther mischt – das und noch mehr hören wir von Frank Riede.

«Sono fiero dello sviluppo della città, ma certe notizie mi fanno arrabbiare» — (integrale su cdtlink.ch/ex-sindaco con tanto di videointervista) — L'ex sindaco di Locarno, Alain Scherrer, a tutto campo dopo un periodo di silenzio «per avere il giusto distacco»: dalle aggregazioni al Film Festival che chiede di cambiare le date, al ricorso sui concerti estivi — «Seguo la politica e preferisco farlo con un certo distacco, perché voglio rispettare le scelte della compagine che ha preso posto a Palazzo Marcacci». «Sì, ora accetto con grande piacere il vostro invito, prima mi pareva prematuro». Alain Scherrer è in formissima e ha scelto Palazzo Marcacci come luogo simbolo per ambientare un'intervista a tutto campo da rilasciare in esclusiva al Corriere del Ticino. «Sono stati gentili, abbiamo la possibilità di starcene nientemeno che nella sala del Municipio, dove ho lasciato un pezzo del mio cuore», afferma carico d'entusiasmo con il suo immancabile sorriso, salutando la ragazza allo sportello della cancelleria. «Credo sia passato il tempo necessario per poter rispondere alle vostre domande senza voler apparire invadente», aggiunge mentre sale le scale a passo spedito verso la stanza dove per lungo tempo ha retto il timone della Città di Locarno. Una volta entrato, si guarda in giro e indica con emozione il suo posto, «a capotavola». Sono passati quasi due anni dalle elezioni comunali del 14 aprile 2024, dalle quali è scaturita la nuova composizione dell'Esecutivo, rinnovato per quattro settimi. Il nostro interlocutore, all'epoca, aveva annunciato con largo anticipo di non volersi ricandidare.«Il nuovo Municipio? Mi piace questa squadra. Conosco molti di loro: chi ha già vissuto questa casa e chi ora vi entra con entusiasmo. Hanno visione, competenza, e soprattutto il mio successore ha un vero senso dello Stato, orientamento strategico, conoscenza profonda delle tematiche e il suo saper fare è lucido e concreto. Li vedo lavorare con serietà, e ho fiducia. È un sentimento raro, e me lo tengo stretto». Il neo sessantenne («Ma non mi sento vecchio, eh? Facciamo solo... meno giovane di prima, dai») riavvolge il nastro del tempo: «Ho cominciato a fare il sindaco proprio il giorno del mio cinquantesimo compleanno. Nove anni intensi. E se ci mettiamo anche i tempi in Municipio, sono quasi vent'anni. Vent'anni passati dentro queste stanze: riunioni interminabili, notti di scelte pesanti, migliaia di pomeriggi spesi per la Città. E, credetemi, ogni ora è stata viva».Si apre, tuttavia, una nuova fase. Più «distaccata», se si può definire così: «Sto molto bene, ho tempo per me e per la famiglia. Quando sei immerso in un ruolo istituzionale così in vista, non ti rendi conto di quanto sia totalizzante. Solo quando ti fermi capisci quanto correvi. Sono orgoglioso della mia Città. Leggo i giornali, mi rallegro quando trovo belle notizie e m'arrabbio per quelle negative, che però adesso vivo in modo differente. Oggi le decisioni sono in mano alla nuova compagine e il mio auspicio è che le sue scelte siano sempre guidate dal bene per la popolazione e non da speculazioni elettorali», esclama, citando i progetti principali che contribuiranno al rilancio di Locarno, come la riqualifica di piazza Grande e Largo Zorzi, il centro congressuale, la Rotonda, il Castello e il Museo di storia naturale. «Mi rendo conto che abbiamo avviato tanti progetti, forse troppi pensando alla forza finanziaria della Città e ciò non rende facile il lavoro a chi siede oggi nell'Esecutivo».E, a proposito di «arrabbiature», sul tavolo di Bellinzona era stata consegnata, ancora nella precedente legislatura, l'istanza di aggregazione con Lavertezzo, insieme alla collega Tamara Bettazza. Qualche settimana fa - dopo il «cambio della guardia» primaverile che ha portato Andrea Berri alla guida del piccolo Comune - colpo di scena: questi appare in foto con l'omologo Damiano Vignuta, di Gordola, voltando le spalle al «matrimonio» previsto con Locarno e avviando un altro tra i loro due Comuni. «Con tutto il rispetto per i protagonisti, questa fotografia mi ha fatto male», dice con rammarico.«Ad ogni modo il merito è stato di riaprire il dialogo, soprattutto con Losone e Minusio, che sono interlocutori preziosi. Altri, invece, sembrano solo approfittare della centralità di Locarno, rivendicano autonomia ma poi non sono capaci di gestire i progetti importanti, come è accaduto a Muralto con il nodo intermodale alla stazione. La fusione degli enti locali attorno al nucleo dell'agglomerato urbano è a mio avviso inevitabile, dato che la frammentazione rallenta lo sviluppo». Note più positive (letteralmente) per un altro capitolo importante nella vita dell'intervistato. Da due decenni, infatti, canta nel complesso «Vasco Jam». «La musica, il palco: è la mia seconda famiglia. Il gruppo ha 41 anni ed è probabilmente la cover band di Vasco più longeva di sempre. È casa mia. Noi sul palco ci divertiamo, e la gente lo sente».Sempre in ambito musicale, ecco spuntare un ulteriore tasto dolente: il ricorso di un esercente di piazza Grande contro i concerti estivi: «Mi rattrista vedere chi antepone interessi personali all'estate di Locarno. Piazza Grande è un simbolo potente. Qui sono passati nomi che hanno lasciato memoria nel mondo. Non possiamo rischiare che qualcuno rovini tutto per egoismi». L'altro pilastro della bella stagione è il Festival, la manifestazione culturale più importante a livello nazionale. Che vorrebbe anticipare la programmazione. Un'opportunità da cogliere? «La questione è delicata. Capisco l'industria cinematografica, ma anche il turismo vive di equilibri delicati. Il calendario è un incastro prezioso. Il Festival è un pilastro: Locarno grazie a questa manifestazione vive di cultura».Infine, la politica. Perché è proprio il «suo» PLR ad aver perso il quarto seggio del distretto in Gran consiglio. «Sì, anni fa avrei voluto fare un'esperienza a livello cantonale. Ma oggi non ne sono più attratto. La politica, parlo in generale, non dialoga più con la vita reale. È incompatibile con il mio modo di intendere il servizio pubblico. Manca il cuore. Manca il coraggio. Manca la coerenza. Manca la concretezza. Si preferisce apparire invece di agire, inseguire consenso invece di assumersi responsabilità. È un mondo che si racconta, ma non costruisce più. Io non ci sto. Voglio continuare a fare del bene, ma non accanto ai giochi di potere. Non come sindaco, voglio farlo come uomo. E le persone, non i ruoli, fanno la differenza».

Its main goal is to release documentary films mainly in Mexico and Latin America. Artegios also serves as a platform for workshops on documentary research, ethics, and production.

We want to feature the editors of four Canadian films that are not only critically acclaimed in this year's festival circles but also reflect the great community spirit behind their creation. Whether it's the utterly independent visions of MATT AND MARA and UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE or the deeply necessary stories of the Indigenous community in ABERDEEN and THE STAND, this year's Canadian films, in all their shapes and forms, are not short of boldness and style. Sara Bulloch is an editor and filmmaker in Winnipeg, Canada. She's edited films and series like ABERDEEN (premiered at TIFF2024), ALTER BOYS, SEEKING FIRE, ANCIENT BODIES, and many short films including I WOULD LIKE TO THANK MY BODY which won Audience Choice Award at Gimli Film Fest 2023. Short films she's written/directed have screened with Toronto Jewish Film Fest, the8fest, Gimli Film Fest, and more. Her films often explore mental health, identity, and relationships. Her short film, HOT DOG GUY won a People's Choice Award at Vox Popular Media Arts Fest 2022. She's also a motion graphics artist and community organizer.

Zur Kabinettskrise Frankreichs des Jahres 1925 führte nicht unbedingt eine Kontroverse rund um die Unterzeichnung des Vertrags von Locarno. Grund war vielmehr das endgültige Zerbrechen des „Cartel des gauches“, des Links-Bündnisses, welches nach den Wahlen 1924 an die Macht gekommen war. Premierminister Paul Painlevé versuchte, der hohen Staatsverschuldung mit einer Austeritätspolitik zu begegnen, und wurde darob (aber auch als Reaktion auf andere Kompromisse mit dem bürgerlichen Lager) vom linken Flügel am 22. November gestürzt. Painlevé war ein renommierter Mathematiker, mit dem Spezialgebiet der nicht-linearen Differentialgleichungen zweiter Ordnung, deren eine Eigenschaft heute als Painlevé-Eigenschaft bezeichnet wird. Im Zuge der Dreyfus-Affäre trat er, bereits Mitglied der Liga für Menschenrechte, in die Politik ein. Er pflegte gute Beziehungen nach Deutschland, sprach wohl fließend Deutsch und war ein glühender Anhänger der Mahlerschen Musik. Zudem begeisterte er sich fürs Fliegen, war 1908 der erste französische Passagier beim Flug Wilbur Whrigts und begründete die Lehre der Aeronautik an den französischen Universitäten… Aber: In der heutigen Folge liest Rosa Leu für uns aus der Bergedorfer Zeitung vom 23. November die damals aktuellsten Nachrichten und Agenturmeldungen über den Sturz Painlevés.

Die Tessiner Kleinpartei «Movimiento per il socialismo» scheint einen guten Riecher zu haben für Themen: Ihre Initiative gegen Lohn-Dumping hat im Tessiner Grossen Rat zu langen Diskussionen geführt – und ein anderes Anliegen ihrer Anliegen fand sogar eine Mehrheit. Die weiteren Themen: · Im Kanton Waadt erhalten Weinbäuerinnen und Weinbauern künftig eine Prämie, wenn sie Reben ausreissen – so will Staatsrätin Valerie Dittli die Überproduktion von Waadtländer Wein in den Griff bekommen. · Christian Constantin, Präsident des FC Sion, nimmt im Tessin ein neues Projekt in Angriff: Er will die Landzunge Capo San Martino südlich von Lugano wieder zum Leben erwecken. Zu Gast sind diese Woche Gerhard Lob, freier Journalist in Locarno, und Eva Hirschi, freie Journalistin in Lausanne.

Die Vertragsverhandlungen von Locarno waren – wir berichteten im Podcast ausführlich – zwar zu einem erfolgreichen Abschluss gekommen. Deutschland stürzten sie jedoch abermals in eine schwere Regierungskrise, da die Deutschnationale Volkspartei die Beschlüsse nicht mittragen wollte und ihren Auszug aus dem Kabinett Luther beschloss. Weniger Widerstand, erfahren wir aus dem Hamburgischen Correspondenten vom 20. November 1925, wurde dem Vertragswerk aus den deutschen Ländern entgegengebracht, die dessen Konsequenzen mitzutragen hatten und deren Zustimmung deshalb, neben der des Reichstags, für die Annahme der Vereinbarungen unabdingbar war. Außerdem informiert der Correspondent sein Publikum noch über Reaktionen auf Locarno aus England bzw. über die Reaktionen deutscher Tageszeitungen wiederum darauf. Paula Leu lichtet den Nebel.

Kent Takvimi'nde bu hafta, Ankara'dan Locarno'ya uzanan sinema seçkileri, İstanbul ve Gwangju Bienalleri'nin son haftası, Stanley Clarke ve Kae Tempest konserleriyle birlikte Atta Festival ve New York Üçlemesi öne çıkıyor.

Dass den Zeitungen mit dem Radio ein mächtiger Konkurrent heranwuchs, der an ihrer Stellung als dem Leitmedium der Zeit rüttelte, erkennen wir nicht nur an der Berichterstattung über die Radioprogramme der Sender und über technische Innovationen auf dem Gebiet der Tonübertragung. Immer häufiger kam es vor, dass die Zeitungen sich gezwungen sahen, über Radioansprachen zu berichten, und damit nachzuliefern, was die Radiohörerinnen bereits kannten. Am 3. November 1925 hatte der Außenminister Gustav Stresemann im Radio über den Vertrag von Locarno gesprochen und für den Kurs der Regierung geworben. Welche Argumente er dabei ins Feld führte, können wir uns nicht im Original anhören, da diese Radioaufnahme nicht mehr vorliegt, sondern erfahren es aus den Altonaer Nachrichten vom 4. November. Von Audio zu Text und nun zurück zur Stimme… im Jahr 2025 der von Rosa Leu.

Die deutsche Regierungskrise, sie zog immer weitere Kreise. Nach wie vor stand nach dem Ausscheiden der deutschnationalen Minister aus dem Kabinett die Ratifizierung der Vereinbarungen von Locarno durch den Reichstag auf Messers Schneide. Die SPD zierte sich, den Mehrheitsbeschaffer zu spielen, und auch Zentrum und DDP übten Druck auf Kanzler Hans Luther aus, die Vorlage nicht ohne Aussicht auf eine stabile Regierung einzubringen. Das Szenario ‘Neuwahlen‘ war weiterhin nicht vom Tisch, und auch die Option, die Zustimmung zu Locarno in einem Volksentscheid abzufragen, wurde offensichtlich ernsthaft diskutiert. Das behaupten jedenfalls am 2. November 1925 die Altonaer Nachrichten, in denen für uns Rosa Leu geblättert hat.

Wie stark Zölle die wirtschaftliche Dynamik zu behindern und den gesellschaftlichen Wohlstand auszubremsen vermögen, ist dieser Tage wieder zu besichtigen. Vor einhundert Jahren, in den zwanziger Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts, war dies nicht nur eine transatlantische, sondern auch eine innereuropäische Thematik, denn nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg frönten teilweise auch die kleinsten der neuentstandenen Nationalstaaten dem Ideal der Autarkie. Dass dies dem Kontinent ökonomisch kaum wieder auf die Sprünge helfen würde, wurde relativ schnell klar, weshalb die vorsichtig positiv stimmenden Ergebnisse der Konferenz von Locarno vielerorts zum Anlass genommen wurden, über den Weg in eine europäische Zollunion nachzudenken. Entsprechende Vorgriffe auf eine europäische Einigung finden sich mit etwas ungeklärter Autorschaft auch in den Altonaer Nachrichten vom 28. Oktober 1925 formuliert. Frank Riede hat sie sich angesehen.

Erst im Januar 1925 war das Kabinett Luther I, bestehend aus Mitgliedern der DVP, der DNVP, des Zentrums, der DDP sowie der BVP, gebildet worden – im Oktober stand es bereits wieder vor dem Aus. Grund dafür war das in Locarno ausgehandelte Vertragswerk, welches von großen Teilen der deutschnationalen Fraktion abgelehnt wurde. Auch die Interventionen des der DNVP eigentlich nahestehenden Reichspräsidenten Hindenburg vermochten das Blatt nicht zu wenden, so dass der Hamburgische Correspondent am 27. Oktober das bevorstehende Ausscheiden dreier Minister vermeldete und über die weiteren politischen Konsequenzen spekulierte. Drohte die Ratifizierung von Locarno gar zu scheitern? Stand Deutschland mal wieder vor vorgezogenen Neuwahlen? Oder fand sich im bestehenden Reichstag eine neue Regierungsmehrheit? Rosa Leu kennt den Stand der Spekulationen.

Ein paar Tage lang tagten die Gremien, stritten die unterschiedlichen Parteiflügel, dann war klar: Die Deutschnationale Volkspartei, seit den Wahlen des Jahres 1924 zweitstärkste Fraktion im Reichstag und größte Regierungspartei im Kabinett von Reichskanzler Hans Luther, war nicht gewillt die Ergebnisse der Verhandlungen von Locarno mitzutragen und drohte offen mit dem Koalitionsbruch. Interessant an der Begründung dieses Schrittes ist die Tatsache, dass die deutschnationale Interpretation des Vertragstextes offensichtlich eher der französischen und britischen Lesart entsprach, als der offiziellen deutschen Sicht von Kanzler Luther und Außenminister Stresemann. So deuteten es jedenfalls am 26. Oktober 1925 die Altonaer Nachrichten, in die für uns Frank Riede schaut.

A pioneering voice in Arab cinema, Annemarie Jacir has written, directed, and produced over sixteen films, with premieres at Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Locarno, Rotterdam, and Toronto. In 2007, she made history by shooting the first feature film by a Palestinian female director. All four of her feature films have been chosen as Palestine's Oscar submissions. Set in 1936 during the Arab Revolt in British-ruled Palestine, Palestine 36 chronicles the intertwined lives of farmers, revolutionaries, and business owners resisting colonial rule. It's a stirring portrait of resilience, featuring a stellar cast including Hiam Abbass, Jeremy Irons, and Saleh Bakri. In this episode, Annemarie shares the ten-year journey behind the making of Palestine 36, the challenges of filming on location under threat, and the vital role Palestinian cinema plays in preserving histories too often left untold. Palestine 36 wil be released nationwide in Cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 31st October. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Die Staaten Europas im harten Ringen um Kompromisse, die den Kontinent stabilisieren sollten; Russland als lauernder Beobachter, im Schulterschluss mit China, weitere Bündnisse gen Asien knüpfend – dieses Bild der aktuellen politischen Lage zeichnet der Hamburgische Correspondent in seiner Ausgabe vom 21. Oktober 1925. Der Kontext ist einmal mehr die zurückliegende Konferenz von Locarno, die man im Kreml mit Argusaugen verfolgte, weil man durch sie die nach Rapallo zurückreichenden Spezialbeziehungen der Sowjetmacht mit dem bis dato in Europa isolierten Deutschland tangiert sehen mochte. Warum der Moskauer Korrespondent des Hamburgischen Correspondenten die Nachfolger Lenins dennoch in einer relativ komfortablen strategischen Position glaubte, weiß Frank Riede.

Die Konferenz von Locarno endete mit einem Schlussprotokoll, in dem die Einigungen festgehalten waren, die anschließend von den Parlamenten der einzelnen Staaten bestätigt werden mussten, bevor sie endgültig unterzeichnet werden konnten. Der Kern des sich abzeichnenden Abkommens war die langfristige Festlegung und Garantie der Westgrenzen Deutschlands, wie sie im Versailler Vertrag definiert waren. Dass die Weimarer Republik auf eine diplomatische oder gewaltsame Revision dieser Grenzziehung verzichtete, führte bei den politischen Rändern zu Protesten. Und da ja die DNVP Teil der Regierung Luther war, zeichnete sich eine Regierungskrise ab. Der Hamburgische Correspondent versammelt am 18. Oktober die Reaktionen der Presse und der Parteien auf die Nachrichten aus Locarno. Es liest Frank Riede.

Nach 12 Verhandlungstagen zeichnete sich ein Ende der Konferenz in Locarno ab und die Zeitungen zoomten, wenn man so will, wieder von den kleinen Geschichten, Erkenntnissen und Gerüchten zum Großen und Ganzen zurück und begannen zu resümieren. Die Wilhelmsburger Zeitung tat dies unter dem Titel „Einfach und Ehrlich“, einem Zitat des britischen Premiers Baldwin zu einem deutschen Memorandum im Vorfeld der Konferenz. Der Leitartikler warnt vor voreiligen Schlüssen und Bewertungen, vor zu viel Pessimismus oder Optimismus, da die Ergebnisse der Konferenz ja auch noch nicht wirklich kommuniziert worden waren, vermutet aber auch, dass in der Reichsregierung nicht alle glücklich über den Verlauf der Verhandlungen sein würden. Doch dazu morgen mehr. Den Wissenstand der Wilhelmsburger vom 17. Oktober 1925 liest für uns Rosa Leu.

Pochi giorni per organizzare una conferenza che avrebbe segnato i destini dell'Europa e della diplomazia. La conferenza di Locarno (che si concluse esattamente cento anni fa), riunì attorno ad un tavolo le nazioni vincitrici della prima guerra mondiale e la Germania, uscita sconfitta dal conflitto. L'idea era quella di ottenere un risultato migliore degli accordi di Versailles di sei anni prima, nei quali la Germania era stata umiliata, costretta a impossibili risarcimenti e alla demilitarizzazione di un'ampia parte del proprio territorio.undefinedLocarno fornì l'atmosfera giusta per dialogare, confrontarsi, comprendere le speranze e le esigenze di tutti i paesi coinvolti. Nel nome della pace e della prosperità del continente. La Svizzera non fu presente alla conferenza, come imposto dalla neutralità, ma l'esperienza di democrazia e confronto pacifico e costruttivo rossocrociato aiutò i partecipanti. Una lezione di generosità e di coraggio riconosciuta anche dal resto del mondo. Ai protagonisti di quell'esperienza fu infatti assegnato nel 1925 e nel 1926 il premio Nobel per la pace.undefinedCon il segretario generale del Consiglio d'Europa ed ex Consigliere federale Alain Berset, e gli storici Emilio Gentile e Maurizio Binaghi.

Janicke Askevold unpacks her journey from shooting Together Alone with friends during COVID to premiering her new feature Solomamma at the Locarno Film Festival. The Norwegian actor-turned-director traces how a one-page pitch led to full Norwegian Film Institute backing and a 25-day Oslo shoot that balanced long summer daylight, short 8-hour workdays, and a five-year-old co-star.Solomamma follows Edith, a journalist and single mother who secretly seeks out her sperm donor - an encounter that evolves into love, deceit, and a search for self. Co-produced across Lithuania, Latvia, and Finland, with sound design by a collaborator of Ruben Östlund, the film examines modern solo motherhood in the wake of Norway's 2020 legalization of single-parent conception.Janicke's cinematic influences span Fritz Lang's expressionism, Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard, and Maren Ade's Toni Erdmann. On craft, she champions preparation, the power of casting chemistry tests that “made her cry,” and editing as the stage where “you can make a whole new film.”Her advice to young filmmakers: trust your instincts, start sooner, send the story out—and don't wait for permission.What Movies Are You Watching?Introducing the Past Present Feature Film Festival, a new showcase celebrating cinematic storytelling across time.

Die Konferenz in Locarno war zweifelsfrei das große Ereignis der europäischen Politik im Jahre 1925, bei der wahrscheinlich der Umfang der Delegationen von den unzähligen Berichterstattern der Presse deutlich übertroffen wurde. Nun prallte deren Interesse nach spannenden Neuigkeiten und berichtenswerten Details der Verhandlungen auf Diplomaten, die sich allesamt vorgenommen hatten, nichts durchzustechen, was, bis auf die Indiskretion vor wenigen Tagen, von der wir berichteten, auch durchgehalten wurde. Eben diesen Mangel an Nachrichten thematisiert der Bericht von Rudolf Michael für den Hamburgischen Correspondenten vom 11. Oktober. Ohne zu wissen, dass das informelle Treffen zwischen dem französischen Außenminister Briand und dem Reichskanzler Luther in Ascona heute als zentrales Treffen auf dem Weg zu einer deutsch-französischen Einigung auf der Konferenz gilt, schildert er launig das Zusammentreffen der beiden Politiker mit einer Katze und Weintrauben. Es liest Rosa Leu.

As we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Locarno Treaties of 1925, this episode explores the treaties' place in the "long 20th century," examining how leaders like Gustav Stresemann, Aristide Briand, and Austen Chamberlain sought a new European order in a transformed Atlantic and global setting after the First World War. Professor Patrick O. Cohrs explains the Treaties' significance, strengths, weaknesses, and wider global echoes, and considers what the Locarno spirit can teach today's leaders about diplomacy, learning, and collective security. Patrick O. Cohrs is Professor of International History at the University of Florence. He specialises in the history of modern international politics. His work focuses on war and peace and the transformation of the transatlantic and global order in the long twentieth century. He is the author of The Unfinished Peace after World War I (Cambridge University Press, 2006). His second book, The New Atlantic Order. The Transformation of International Politics, 1860–1933 (Cambridge University Press, 2022) won the 2023 Prose Award in World History.

Große internationale Konferenzen beginnen selbstredend nicht erst mit der Ankunft der Delegationen am Veranstaltungsort, sondern werden in aller Regel lange im Vorfeld durch Unterhändlerinnen und Unterhändler vorbereitet; auf dass die Ministerial- oder Regierungsspitzen vor Ort nicht bei Adam und Eva beginnen müssen, sondern sich auf die Klärung der verbliebenen Streitpunkte konzentrieren können. Blöd nur, wenn die Zwischenstände der Verhandlungen vorab durchgestochen werden, wie das 1925 im Vorfeld der Friedenskonferenz von Locarno der Fall war. Diversen europäischen Zeitungen lag entsprechendes Material vor, und in die anderen, wie in den Hamburgischen Correspondenten vom 7. Oktober, fanden die Infos dann natürlich auch Eingang. Was vermeintlich schon vor Tagungsbeginn vereinbart war und wer das angeblich nicht für sich behalten wollte, weiß Rosa Leu.

Langsam trudelten sie in Locarno ein, die Delegationen, und die Drähte in den Presseagenturen und den Zeitungsredaktionen glühten heiß. Aus Basel, aus London, aus Rom und natürlich aus Locarno selbst gingen die Drahtmeldungen ein, die der Hamburgische Correspondent am 4. Oktober 1925 zu einem Vorbericht collagierte. Auffällig dabei ist, dass der Optimismus vor Konferenzbeginn nicht allzu ausgeprägt war. Sowohl aus Großbritannien, als auch aus der Tschechoslowakei waren skeptische Stimmen zu vernehmen, dass Frankreich und Deutschland zu einer Verhandlungslösung fähig respektive willens seien. Die große anwesende Journalistenschar, von der in den Berichten ebenfalls die Rede ist, erwartete den Beginn der Konsultationen dennoch mit Spannung. Unser Mann am Lago Maggiore heißt Frank Riede.

Im Oktober 1925 verhandelten Vertreter aus mehreren europäischen Staaten über eine neue Sicherheitsordnung. Mit den Verträgen von Locarno kehrte Deutschland auf die internationale Bühne zurück. Für kurze Zeit herrschte damals Hoffnung auf einen nachhaltigen Frieden in Europa.**********Ihr hört in dieser Folge "Eine Stunde History":10:26 - Yvonne Blomann über über den Ablauf der Verhandlungen in Locarno21:20 - Historiker Ewald Grothe über den Außenminister Gustav Stresemann, der die Locarno-Verträge initiiert hat33:30 - Hans-Christof Kraus über die Außenpolitik Deutschlands in den 1920er und 1930er Jahren**********Mehr zum Thema bei Deutschlandfunk Nova:1920: Der Völkerbund - die Idee vom WeltfriedenVersailler Vertrag: Neue Ordnung für Deutschland und die WeltWeimarer Republik - 1922: Der Vertrag von Rapallo**********Den Artikel zum Stück findet ihr hier.**********Ihr könnt uns auch auf diesen Kanälen folgen: TikTok und Instagram .**********In dieser Folge mit: Moderation: Markus Dichmann Gesprächspartner: Dr. Matthias von Hellfeld , Deutschlandfunk-Nova-Geschichtsexperte Gesprächspartnerin: Yvonne Blomann, Historikerin Gesprächspartner: Ewald Grothe, Historiker Gesprächspartner: Hans-Christof Kraus, Historiker

Locarno, im schönen Tessin am Lago Maggiore gelegen, ist heute vor allem als mondäne Urlaubsdestination sowie für ihr alljährliches Filmfestival bekannt. 1925 indes quartierte sich für 12 Tage im Oktober einmal auch die große Weltgeschichte in dem schweizerischen Städtchen ein. Die Verträge von Locarno, die hier ausgehandelt wurden, verlangten allen europäischen Teilnehmerstaaten erhebliche Kompromissbereitschaft ab; dafür bescherten sie dem Kontinent aber auch einige Jahre der Hoffnung auf dauerhaften Frieden und Verständigung. Vor den Delegationen, die in der Regel von den Außenministern angeführt wurden, trafen vielfach bereits die Journalisten ein. So auch von der Wilhelmsburger Zeitung, die ihre Leserinnen und Leser am 3. Oktober, zwei Tage vor Konferenzbeginn, bereits einmal mit dem Veranstaltungsort, seiner Lage und seiner Geschichte vertraut machte. Unsere Berichterstatterin vor Ort heißt Rosa Leu.

Durante alguns anos falou-se no “espírito de Locarno”: sete tratados assinados em 1925 que procuravam resolver disputas territoriais e garantir a paz na Europa após a tragédia da Primeira GuerraSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Diplomatie, Reichtum und Religion machen in dieser Folge Schlagzeilen! Wir sprechen über die Konferenz von Locarno, die den europäischen Frieden neu ordnen sollte, und werfen einen Blick auf die Liste der reichsten US-Amerikaner im Jahr 1924. Außerdem blicken wir auf den Patriarchen-Streit zwischen Griechenland und der Türkei. Literarisch wird es mit dem Buch „Donner über der Adria“ von Erich Knauf nach Karl Hans Schober.

Peter Hammill, adored by Bowie, Mark E Smith and many others, co-founded Van Der Graaf Generator when he was 19. And he's made 47 albums since, powered by “hubris, enthusiasm and sheer bloody-mindness” and celebrated in a new 18-CD box set.

Brilliant in acting. Brilliant in producing. Brilliant in executive producing. Brilliant in...directing? Let's hope so. Given her extraordinarily body of work, most recently in front of the camera in Gil Henry's PAS VRAIMENT ORDINAIRE (2025), we can only hope my guest, Floriane Andersen, will be in the director's chair soon. She certainly has made the opportunity for herself; the production company she co-founded, Artak Pictures, has six projects in the works, two of which she is slated to direct. She is not only forging ahead, but creating a path for others to follow.In this episode, Floriane and I discuss:Her origin story and what the words “French actress” means to her;Why her production company takes on underrepresented voices;Whether she casts based on social media followings and trends;Working with first time female filmmakers versus people who may already know how the system works;Whether she sees other production companies in the championing female voices space as competition;As an actor, producer, and executive producer, how does she approach festivals like Edinburgh and Locarno;How actors can best take advantage of attending film festivals;Her advice for filmmakers just starting out and specifically for French filmmakers;What's next for her — SIX features! — and she's attached as a director for two of them.Floriane's Indie Film Highlight: TWO NEIGHBORS (2025) dir. by Ondine ViñaoMemorable Quotes: “I'm a storyteller, first and foremost.”“Females voices are underrepresented in the film industry so we will focus on that as long as there is still disparity. But hopefully this is not even going to be a subject soon and we can focus on other underrepresented voices.” “Sometimes festivals are not very actor friendly.”“I don't see it as work, even if it is a lot of work.”Links:Follow Floriane On InstagramFollow Artak Pictures On InstagramSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

The Locarno Film Festival takes place every August in the Swiss town of Locarno, at the base of the Alps, with a robust mix of new discoveries, repertory selections, and premieres of films by major auteurs. Film Comment was on the ground this year, combing through the lineup for highlights, and this episode—featuring critics and programmers Inney Prakash and Cici Peng in conversation with FC Editor Devika Girish—covers some of the notable titles: Radu Jude's Dracula (3:09), Alexandre Koberidze's Dry Leaf (16:10), Kamal Aljafari's With Hasan in Gaza (23:45), Sophy Romvari's Blue Heron (30:38), and more

At this year's Locarno Film Festival, Film Comment Editor Devika Girish moderated a conversation between the filmmakers Miguel Gomes and Alexandre Koberidze. The talk took place as part of the Future of Reality conference at the festival, organized by Locarno Factory and Università della Svizzera italiana, and the subject of the conversation was “the reality of the film set.” What is the daily experience behind making transcendent cinema? What are the tactical and interpersonal challenges of orchestrating resources and labor, all in pursuit of a singular artistic vision? Devika explored these questions with the two directors, who reflected on the making of their most recent films—last year's Grand Tour for Gomes, and Dry Leaf, which premiered at this year's festival, for Koberidze.  Please note that the audio quality isn't up to our usual standards due to technical problems during the recording.

Ep. 340: Ehsan Khoshbakht on Great Expectations, the British retrospective of Locarno 2025 Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw, with your host, Nicolas Rapold. This week I'm reporting from the Locarno film festival, where the annual retrospective has once again been quite popular. So I couldn't pass up the opportunity to speak with the retrospective's programmer, Ehsan Khoshbakht, who also co-directs Il Cinema Ritrovato in Bologna and also curated Locarno's 2024 tribute to Columbia Pictures. Khoshbakht explains the basis of the series, providing fascinating insights into what fueled British postwar cinema, crosscurrents with other cinemas, and the thought processes behind film programming. Among the titles discussed (adding new ones to those already discussed on the podcast): Locarno's 1952 Golden Leopard winner Hunted (directed by Charles Crichton), It Always Rains on Sunday (Robert Hamer), The Woman in Question (Anthony Asquith), as well as a look at the director Jack Lee (Turn the Key Softly).
