LOCARNO FILM FEST WINNERS


This time, just don't forgive me. It's been longer than I'm comfortable admitting since the Locarno Film Fest wrapped, and I'm only now posting the results of the film calendar's best festival's awards. To make matters worse, the film I'm most anticipating out of all films thus far this year, Lav Diaz's From What Is Beforetook the top prize, the Golden Leopard, though for him at least that's far from making anything worse. Diaz was jury president last year at Locarno, when the Leopard went to Albert Serra's Story of My DeathFull, much too belated, details below.
