Locarno's Journey Through Festivals Past

A retrospective program featuring classic films from festivals past will feature two Italian films: Roberto Rossellini's neorealist masterpiece "Germania anno zero" (Germany, Year Zero), which was in the 1948 edition of the festival and Pier Paolo Pasolini's documentary "Comizi d’amore" (Love Meetings), which was in the 1964 edition.

The films will be available online free of charge throughout Switzerland on the Festival's website and in various international territories thanks to the online streaming platform MUBI. Click here for the complete lineup. Click here for a direct link to stream to the online films.
