In this episode, Kimberly and Tommaso explore Arezzo, a Tuscan village offering a blend of history and culture. They share insights on its art, architecture, and the stories behind its famous figures. Key Points: Discovering Arezzo: Arezzo is southeast of Florence, accessible by a one-hour drive or a 36-minute direct train. The city is walkable and rich with historical architecture influenced by the Medici family. Piazza Grande stands out with its trapezoidal shape and diverse facades from various eras. Navigating Arezzo: Corso Italia, the main street, evolves from commercial storefronts to upscale gourmet shops. Piazza Grande, initially filled with Christmas stalls, reveals stunning architecture. Arezzo's Famous Figures: Guido da Arezzo invented the system of musical notation and solfege. Giorgio Vasari, a painter, architect, and art historian, is known as the father of art history.

The local library preserves ancient walls, creating a blend of old and new. Final Thoughts: Arezzo offers a rewarding experience for those seeking history, architecture, and art. Staying overnight is recommended to fully the atmosphere, especially around Piazza Grande.

For our final episode for season two of Locarno Meets, we were delighted to be joined by actress Caroline Goodall, whose illustrious career has seen her turn in remarkable performances in now-classic films by many of the greatest names in contemporary cinema. Goodall was in Locarno to promote her latest film, the Piazza Grande-playing “Sew Torn”, directed by the prodigious young director Freddy MacDonald. We spoke with the marvellous actress about working, in this case, with a gifted filmmaker in his early twenties, as well as reminiscing about some of her major films, like “Schindler's List”, “Hook”, “The Princess Diaries”, and Lars von Trier's “Nymphomaniac”.

In 1994, a young Swiss-French rising star named Irène Jacob and a legendary Polish auteur, Krzysztof Kieślowski, travelled to Locarno to present “Three Colors: Red” on the Piazza Grande, in front of an audience of thousands of jubilant spectators. 30 years later, Jacob, now herself an established legend of international arthouse and commercial filmmaking, returned to Locarno to present the film while being honored with the Festival's prestigious Leopard Club Award (2024). We took the chance to sit down with Irène Jacob on Locarno Meets to reflect on the legacy of this monumental work and her remarkable and risk-taking career in the years since. In 2024 alone, Jacob has created indelible new films with Amos Gitai and Rithy Panh, each of which premiered to rave reviews at the Berlin and Venice film festivals. No matter the assignment, Irène Jacob continues to forge her own path – a deeply original one – within and through the landscape of international cinema.

Following a successful premiere at South by Southwest, 24-year-old Swiss-American filmmaker Freddy Macdonald, the youngest directing fellow ever accepted to the American Film Institute, brought his audacious debut feature “Sew Torn” to the Piazza Grande at the 77th Locarno Film Festival.  We caught up with Macdonald on Locarno Meets during the Festival to discuss the unique genesis of the film, its many wild narrative twists and turns, as well as to unpack the influence of the Coen brothers on his work and talk about what it's like to develop a film with one's Dad.

“I think a lot of my work is about aspiring to something lofty. And then failing at it. Which I find funny”, says Alice Lowe, director and star of ‘Timestalker', showed on the Piazza Grande at the 77th Locarno Film Festival. In a free-flowing conversation on her influences and artistic aspirations, Lowe – a major star of UK sketch comedy of the 2000s, director of “Prevenge” and co-writer of “Sightseers” – sat down on Locarno Meets to talk through the sheer Britishness of her latest time travel comedy extravaganza, influenced by everything from Sally Potter to Powell & Pressburger to “Doctor Zhivago”, and getting her start at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival walking through a giant tambourine.

One of the most recognizable faces of British cinema, known best for “Shaun of the Dead” and “Hot Fuzz”, actor Nick Frost stopped over at Locarno to show his latest film, the centuries-spanning time travel romantic comedy “Timestalker”, on the Piazza Grande. While in town, he sat down for a conversation on Locarno Meets to discuss the genesis of this one-of-a-kind new movie, expound on his admiration for director Alice Lowe – another beloved staple of British television comedy – and reflect on what it means to play a pretty evil dude across dozens of historical eras on screen.

A film 28 years in the making and shot across 24 countries, Tarsem's gonzo masterpiece The Fall has long been woefully unavailable. The 77th edition of the Locarno Film Festival saw a new 4K restoration, done in collaboration with MUBI, premiere on the 8,000-seat Piazza Grande in Locarno. For this episode of our podcast Locarno Meets, Tarsem sat down for an in-depth discussion of this great UFO of film history, telling the epic story of its making, of the reasons for its long-time unavailability, of how it was rejected by studios and critics but revered as a cult classic by fans, and how seeing it on the big screen at the Locarno Film Festival is the best kind of validation.

"Le procès du chien", produit par Bande à Part, est le 1er long-métrage de la franco-suisse Laetitia Dosch en tant que réalisatrice. Tragicomédie entièrement tournée sur les bords du lac Léman, le film, qui faisait sa première au Festival de Cannes, où il a valu une Palme Dog au chien Cody (alias Cosmos) a été présenté en cérémonie de clôture sur la Piazza Grande de Locarno. Synopsis : Avril, jeune avocate spécialisée dans la défense de animaux est prête à tout pour sauver de la peine capitale son client, un chien récidiviste. Entre croyance en la justice et difficultés grandissantes à supporter le mépris des humains pour les animaux, c'est ce chien qui va aider Avril à accepter sa complexité humaine. Sortie sur les écrans romands le 11 septembre. Laetitia Dosch est lʹinvitée dʹAnne Laure Gannac pour parler du film, mais aussi de la place des animaux et de la nature dans son enfance et dans son travail en général, ou encore des rapports de domination entre les espèces, entre les classes sociales et dans le milieu du cinéma.

Bollywood ist mehr als Tanz, Drama und Gesang. Davon erzählt Shah Rukh Khan. Er ist der Superstar der indischen Filmindustrie und einer der prominenten Gäste des 77. Locarno Film Festivals, das erstmals mit der neuen Direktorin Maja Hoffmann an den Start geht. Die Schweiz ist mit Filmen im Internationalen Wettbewerb und auf der Piazza Grande prominent vertreten. Das und mehr im «Kulturplatz» vom Lago Maggiore mit Nina Mavis Brunner.

Das «Tagesgespräch» ist zurück aus der Sommerpause mit Bundesrätin Baume-Schneider als Gast. Wir treffen die Kulturminister am Locarno Filmfestival, wo sie sagt, dass sie den Regisseur Quentin Tarantino verehre. Das grösste Drama spielt sich aber nicht auf der Leinwand, sondern bei der AHV ab. Elisabeth Baume-Schneider ist das erste Mal als Kulturministerin am Filmfestival Locarno, welches noch die ganze Woche Filme auf der Piazza Grande zeigt. Im «Tagesgespräch» spricht Baume-Schneider über Film- und Kulturpolitik, über ihre Lieblingsfilmhelden und über die Konkurrenz Netflix. Ihr erster Auftritt als Kulturministerin am Filmfestival wird jedoch vom AHV-Debakel überschattet: Die Sozialministerin schliesst nach der AHV-Rechenpanne personelle Konsequenzen nicht aus. Sie wolle nach Abschluss der Administrativuntersuchung transparent aufzeigen, wie es zu dem Irrtum kommen konnte, sagt die zuständige Bundesrätin.

(00:00:44) Seit Mittwoch findet in Locarno das 77. Filmfestival statt, der grösste internationale Kulturanlass der Schweiz. Auf der Piazza Grande werden Filme für ein breites Publikum gezeigt, während im Wettbewerb anspruchsvolle Werke präsentiert werden. (00:05:17) Nemo live mit Sinfonieorchester: Neue Töne werden angeschlagen nach dem ESC-Sieg. (00:09:46) Ein kunstvoller Grusel: «Longlegs» mit Nicolas Cage erobert die Schweizer Kinos. (00:13:51) Der St. Galler Bischof Markus Büchel will in den Ruhestand. (00:18:17) «Baumsy» – Eine musikalisch-tänzerische Begegnung mit dem Baum. (00:22:27) Papst empfiehlt Lyrik und Fiktion für die Ausbildung von Priestern - von uns dazu die Empfehlung.

Addentrandosi nella conoscenza e nell'esplorazione del mondo enoico ricorre il tema di territori il cui destino si lega a doppio filo a quello di famiglie che finiscono col farne la storia. È il caso di Montepulciano, antico borgo a seicento metri sul livello del mare che domina la Valdichiana e la Val d'Orcia, nel cuore di quella che fu l'antica Etruria, immerso nel paesaggio agricolo delle terre senesi, tra dolci colline ricoperte da ulivi e vigneti e puntellate di boschi di pini e di castagni.  Dalla sua bellezza rimase folgorato nel lontano 1972 l'imprenditore romano Angelo Jacorossi, proprio in un momento della sua vita in cui era alla ricerca di un buen retiro, un rifugio al quale ricorrere per sottrarsi alla frenesia della Capitale.  Galeotta fu la scoperta di una piccola cantina, la Fattoria della Talosa, nel centro storico di Montepulciano, a pochi passi dalla Piazza Grande, una rete di gallerie sotterranee, a quindici metri di profondità, costruite nei primi decenni del ‘500 sotto due tra gli edifici più antichi della città, Palazzo Tarugi e Palazzo Sinatti, un luogo magico dove il vino ancora oggi riposa, si affina e diventa “Nobile”. Una visione che fu colpo di fulmine e legherà la famiglia Jacorossi a questi luoghi, spingendola a portare avanti il sogno di un progetto enologico sfidante.

Fabio Benincasa"Fra gioco e massacro"Vita sulla Terra dopo Ennio FlaianoPrefazione di Alessandro HaberBordeaux Edizionihttps://bordeauxedizioni.itIl 20 novembre del 1972 moriva a Roma Ennio Flaiano. Sono dunque passati cinquant'anni senza Flaiano o cinquant'anni in sua perenne compagnia? Perché l'aforista, romanziere, corsivista e sceneggiatore che ha analizzato pregi e difetti, tic e nevrosi degli italiani alla luce di un corrosivo e paradossale umorismo è ancora un oggetto di culto? Qual è il segreto della durata di battute come «La situazione è grave ma non seria» o «Gli italiani corrono sempre in aiuto del vincitore»? Un'analisi divertente e puntuale delle cinquanta battute più fulminanti dell'autore di Tempo di uccidere, un breve viaggio nella mente e nell'animo di un supposto “italiano eterno” e, con buona probabilità, di tutti i suoi connazionali.Così comincia:Un fantasma si aggira per l'Italia. Il 20 novembre 1972 moriva a Roma Ennio Flaiano, sceneggia- tore, scrittore, giornalista, umorista, critico cine- matografico e drammaturgo italiano, come reci- ta diligentemente l'ormai prestigiosa Wikipedia. Wikipedia non dice che nel '72 Flaiano lascia- va un'Italietta a metà fra boom generazionale e disastro esistenziale, lontanissima e al tempo stes- so ancora tangibilmente presente per chi è parte della mia generazione. Lo scudetto alla solita Ju- ventus, l'eterno governo Andreotti, Canzonissima con Noschese e la Carrà, Piazza Grande di Dalla a Sanremo (vinto però da Nicola di Bari con una dimenticabile I giorni dell'arcobaleno). Al cinema Il padrino e Solaris. In tv la strage alle Olimpia- di di Monaco. Merz e De Dominicis alla Bienna- le. Moro, Beckenbauer, Eddy Merckx. Tempi ap- pena dietro l'angolo ma già visualizzati nel bianco e nero melenso della nostalgia d'epoca. Un rim- pianto che nelle abrasive cronache di Flaiano non trova in realtà alcuna ragion d'essere.Fabio Benincasa, insegna storia dell'arte, lingua e cultura italiana presso il campus romano della Duquesne University. Con P. Balma ha tradotto in inglese Un marziano a Roma di Ennio Flaiano, ora in The Penguin Book of Italian Short Stories, a cura di Jhumpa Lahiri (Penguin Classics 2019). Tra le sue ultime pubblicazioni: Machiavelli in Contemporary Media (con A. Polegato, Palgrave Macmillan, 2021) e Dialoghi interurbani (con F. Leoni, Bordeaux 2022). Traduttore e curatore indipendente, si occupa di storia delle idee, audiovisivo ed estetica.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it

Wir sind zurück aus unserer Sommerpause, und zu folgenden drei Filmen gibts heute Beiträge zu hören: «Semret» - ein Schweizer Spielfilm erzählt von einer Eritreerin in Zürich: Soeben noch auf der Piazza Grande am Filmfestival Locarno, jetzt in den Kinos. Ebenfalls frisch von der Piazza: Der Literatur-Dokfilm – oder ist es überhaupt ein Dokfilm? der da heisst- «Alles über Martin Suter. Ausser die Wahrheit». Hierzu hat sich Michael Sennhauser mit dem Regisseur André Schäfer unterhalten. Und zum Schluss: «The Hill Where Lionesses Roar» zeigt ein junges, frustriertes Frauentrio aus dem Kosovo, das sich nicht länger veralbern lässt. Dazu kommen die üblichen Kurztipps und unser kleines Tonspur-Ratespiel.

Zum 75. Mal grosses Kino auf der Piazza Grande. Der Schweizer Film «De Noche Los Gatos Son Pardos» ist im Wettbewerb dabei. Und: Wie man mit Anspruch Angst macht: Der Horrorfilm-Produzent Jason Blum im Interview. Dann: Der deutsche Kultschauspieler Udo Kier über seinen Film «My Neighbor Adolf».

Die 75. Ausgabe des Filmfestivals von Locarno ist die zweite unter der künstlerischen Leitung von Giona A. Nazzaro. Das Publikumsfestival vor Ort mit seinen Vorstellungen auf der Piazza Grande bleibt das Herz. Aber kann es den ganzjährig wachsenden Körper mit genügend frischem Blut versorgen? Wer stehen bleibt, fällt zurück. Das gilt in der sich rapide verändernden Festivalwelt genauso wie für die Kinolandschaft, der das permanent verfügbare Online-Angebot zu schaffen macht. Wie schlägt sich der grösste Kulturanlass der Schweiz zu seinem 75. Jubiläum? Michael Sennhauser diskutiert mit den deutschen Kollegen Anke Leweke und Peter Claus, die beide das Festival von Locarno seit vielen Jahren besuchen.

Interview de Michel Merkt, président du jury de la compétition internationale.

(00:00:36) Am Abend wurde die 75. Ausgabe des Filmfestivals von Locarno mit einem Film auf der Piazza Grande eröffnet, der zeitgleich weltweit im Kino anläuft: «Bullet Train». Eher Popcorn-Kino, meint der SRF-Filmredaktor: schnell konsumiert, wenig bleibt.  Weitere Themen: (00:03:47) In der alten Abteikirche von Bellelay gibt es spannende moderne Kunst zu sehen. (00:08:07) Beten am Ballermann: Missionieren gehört bei den Freikirchen dazu – auch in den Ferien. (00:12:10) Bröckelnde Bauten: Italien untersucht die Auswirkung des Klimawandels auf historische Bauwerke.

Ce soir sur la Piazza Grande sera projeté, hors compétition, le film "Mon voisin Adolf" de Leon Prudovsky. Une coproduction israélo-germano-colombienne qui se déroule en Colombie, en 1960. Polsky, un survivant de la Shoah, vit seul dans sa maison perdue dans la nature. Un jour, un voisin allemand sʹinstalle. Un homme colérique, affublé dʹune épaisse barbe et de lunettes de soleil. Un certain Herzog. Très vite, Polsky se convainc que son nouveau voisin nʹest autre quʹAdolf Hitler en personne. Udo Kier incarne ce voisin qui ressemble étrangement à Adolf Hitler.

Am Musikfestival Moon and Stars auf der Piazza Grande in Locarno tritt keine einzige Frau auf: Eine Musikerin klagt an, der Veranstalter wehrt sich und das Tessin schaut zu. Weitere Themen: * Eben noch vor Gericht: Nun verkündet das Jazzfestival, dass der freigesprochene Jonny Depp in Montreux auftreten werde. * Das Festi'Neuch ein Riesenerfolg: Nicht nur, aber auch wegen der Corona-Pause. * Die Grünen im Tessiner schauen nach Links und planen für die kantonalen Wahlen eine Listenverbindung mit der SP. * Sorgen für rote Köpfe: Die zu zahlreichen Pools im Südtessin. * Ertragen die Hitze nicht mehr: Den Kiefern im Wallis geht es schlecht. * Freut sich, dass er an öffentlichen Anlässen wieder Fleisch essen darf: Der Grüne Politiker und gebürtige Argentinier Antonio Hodgers gibt ein Interview nach der Verbotsaufhebung der Genfer Grünen.

La 75e édition du Locarno Film Festival se tiendra cette année du 3 au 13 août 2022. Cette manifestation d'envergure internationale est également l'événement le plus important dans notre pays en matière du cinéma d'auteur. Que ceux qui n'ont pas eu la chance de vivre une projection sur la Piazza Grande se précipitent cette année car, en plus de cette édition anniversaire c'est le grand retour au présentiel ! Nous avons la chance de recevoir aujourd'hui Raphaël Brunschwig, le Managing Director du festival. L'occasion d'en savoir plus sur l'édition 22 et de sa déclinaison 365.

Radioimmaginaria BolognaPodcastCiao a tutti! Radioimmaginaria Bologna è tornata per un omaggio a Lucio Dalla per il mese di Marzo! Ascoltateciradioimmaginaria.it

Welcome to a very special episode of the One for You Podcast! For the very first time we are dedicating an entire episode to the Locarno Film Festival, which just finished its 74th edition! For this episode, I am joined not by one, not by two, but by three guests! Mansi Tiwari, Alan Mattli, and making his long-awaited return to the podcast, my co-founder, my original partner in crime Andri Erdin! We talk about the winner of the Pardo d'Oro VENGEANCE IS MINE, ALL OTHERS PAY CASH, the films on the Piazza Grande, as well as some of our favourite competition films, especially the short films. And of course, this would not be complete without the films we love to hate, such as THE CASE OF THE VANISHING GODS, which was baffling and yet we cannot stop talking about it. Tears might be involved. Join the discussion on social media @oneforyoupod or write an email to oneforyoupod@gmail.com For more of Alan Mattli's reviews go to his blog facingthebittertruth.com

Der Leopard erobert sich sein Revier zurück: die Piazza Grande. «Kulturplatz» berichtet in einer Sondersendung vom Wiedererstarken Locarnos als Film-Hotspot – unter den Augen des neuen Festivalleiters Giona A. Nazzaro. Neben den grossen Gewinnern werden zwei Schweizer Produktionen im Fokus stehen. Im internationalen Wettbewerb durfte sich nur ein einheimischer Film Hoffnungen auf den Goldenen Leoparden machen: «Soul of a Beast» von Lorenz Merz. Seine zwischen surrealem Bilderbogen und animalischem Drogentrip oszillierende Beziehungsgeschichte wird von furiosen Schauspielleistungen getragen. In der Hauptrolle besticht Newcomer Pablo Caprez als Teenager-Vater, der zwischen zwei wahrhaft wilden Frauen steht. Diese werden von den mit Abstand erfolgreichsten jungen Schweizer Darstellerinnen verkörpert: Ella Rumpf, bekannt aus Festivalhits wie «Raw» und «Tiger Girl», sowie Luna Wedler, die derzeit auf Netflix («Biohackers) und Instagram («Ich bin Sophie Scholl») für Aufsehen sorgt. Im Doppelinterview plaudern die beiden international gefeierten Shooting-Stars aus dem Nähkästchen. Bei der Programmierung der zuschauerträchtigen Piazza Grande setzte der neue Festivalleiter Giona A. Nazzaro auf Kino für grosse Jungs: Mit Klassikern wie dem Michael-Mann-Thriller «Heat», 80er-Jahre-Hits wie James Camerons «The Terminator» oder brandneuen Actionfilmen wie dem Netflix-Titel «Beckett» mit John David Washington und Alicia Vikander. Ganz andere Töne schlug dagegen der einzige Schweizer Piazza-Film an: «Monte Verità – Der Rausch der Freiheit» von Stefan Jäger erzählt vor historischem Hintergrund eine erfundene Emanzipationsgeschichte. Auf dem Tessiner Berg der Freiheit suchten zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts bekanntlich viele Aussteigerinnen und Aussteiger ihr Glück. Dabei legten Hermann Hesse und Seinesgleichen nicht nur ihre Kleider ab: Die Proto-Hippies befreiten sich auch vom geistigen Korsett, an dem sie zu ersticken drohten. Laut dem fiktionalen Skript von Jägers «Monte Verità» befand sich unter ihnen auch eine junge Mutter, die ihrer bürgerlichen Rolle entfliehen wollte. Eine Frau, hin- und hergerissen zwischen Schuldgefühlen gegenüber ihrer zurückgelassenen Familie und der Faszination eines selbstbestimmten Lebens.

Gestern Abend hat in Locarno, am Schweizer Ufer des Lago Maggiore, die 74. Ausgabe des Filmfestivals von Locarno begonnen. Das Festival ist berühmt für seine Freiluftaufführungen unterm Sternenzelt. Peter Claus war gestern Abend auf der Piazza Grande bei der Eröffnung der 74. Festivalausgabe dabei. Gestartet wurde diese mit "Beckett", dem neuen Film des italienischen Regisseurs Ferdinando Cito Filomarino.

Nella puntata odierna di Piazza Grande parliamo di un tema che sta tenendo banco nell'agenza politica, soprattutto perché legato a doppio filo con la possibilità per l'Italia di accedere ai fondi del Recovery Plan. Stiamo parlando della riforma della Giustizia, e cioè misure di cui si parla da anni, che però questa volta è indicata, insieme alla riforma della Pubblica Amministrazione di cui ci siamo già occupati a Radio Immagina, come un intervento indispensabile per la partenza stessa del PNRR. Obiettivo principale della riforma, ridurre i tempi dei processi. Mario Draghi ha indicato il cronoprogramma del Governo, ma come cambieranno il processo penale, quello civile, e come verrà riformato il Csm? Si riuscirà a trovare in Parlamento una sintesi su temi controversi come la durata della prescrizione? Ne parliamo a Radio Immagina con Giovanni Bianconi del Corriere della Sera, Anna Rossomando, senatrice del Pd e responsabile Giustizia e Diritti nella segreteria nazionale del Pd, e con Armando Spataro, magistrato e giurista dalla lunga storia.
