What are your memories of the Locarno Film Festival?

In 2026, the Locarno Film Festival (FFL) celebrates its 80th anniversary. To mark the occasion, let's hear from the people who have shaped its history: you! 

Whether you've been to the festival just once or regularly; to watch films, work before or behind the screens or have a drink, or whether you've been impacted as a resident or a shopkeeper in the area: share your opinion, your memories and your experience. 

The project is led by a team of historians at the University of Fribourg.
