The 60th Locarno Film Festival was held from 1 to 11 August 2007 in Locarno, Switzerland.[1] There were 19 films in competition, of which, 15 were world premieres and four were international premieres. Seven of the films were from first time directors.[1] The opening film of the festival was the anime Vexille directed by Fumihiko Sori.[1] It was accompanied by fireworks and an opening speech from artist director Frederic Marie.[2] The Vexille screening was immediately followed by Ingmar Bergman's final film Saraband, a last minute addition, screened in dedication to Bergman who had died that Monday.[2]
Other films on the Piazza Grande, the 8,000 seat open-air theater, were Paul Greengrass's The Bourne Ultimatum and Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror.[3] Rodriguez and lead actress of Planet Terror, Rose McGowan, both attended the festival, along with Anthony Hopkins who had his directorial debut with Slipstream at the festival.[3] Two evenings on the Piazza Grande were rained out and forced audiences inside to the Fevi, the 3,200 seat theater.[4][3] The winner of the audience prize was Death at a Funeral directed by Frank Oz.[4]
In celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the festival, many directors who had brought movies to the festival over the years returned including, Claude Chabrol, Marco Bellocchio, Raul Ruiz, Mike Leigh, Fredi Murer, Yousri Nasrallah.[5] The festival also honored recently deceased directors Edward Yang and Michelangelo Antonioni with screenings of their films Yi Yi and Zabriskie Point.[6]
The Locarno Excellence Award was presented to Spanish actress Carmen Maura by Italian Nobel Prizewinner Dario Fo, who told the story of his first visit to the festival 20 years earlier.[6][7] The Leopard of Honor was awarded to Hou Hsiao-Hsien for his achievements in cinema.[8][9]
The Golden Leopard, the festival's top prize, was awarded to Ai No Yokan (The Rebirth) directed by Masahiro Kobayashi.[10][11][4]
