One of the most important missions of the Locarno Film Festival is to seek out new and daring artistic perspectives from up-and-coming authors, as well as the renowned ones. Therefore, it is only appropriate to present to you the truly bold and provoking debut feature by the young Bulgarian director Ralitza Petrova along with the latest short film by the ever-innovative Yorgos Lanthimos, who continues his tendency to stir things up.
