As always, navigating the Locarno Film Festival is a daunting task, especially if you're hoping to gain a somewhat accurate overview. This year's lineup included a who's who of contemporary auteur cinema (Wang Bing, Hong Sangsoo, Radu Jude), invited us to bet on debut works, and featured a retrospective that could reorder an entire section (not just a shelf) of film history. The ambition to offer a radical panorama of the hidden possibilities within the art of moving images governed this year's edition as well.
