In natura, il leopardo (Panthera pardus) pesa dagli 80 ai 100 chili ed è lungo 130-190 centimetri ma sul Lago Maggiore il Pardo d’oro (Locarnus Pardus?) arriva a pesare solo 1451 grammi per una lunghezza di 47 centimetri dalla punta della coda alla punta del muso. Ecco in sintesi l’ambito trofeo presentatoci da Riccarda Stevan, responsabile dell’amministrazione e delle risorse umane. “Di solito mi chiamano la guardiana dei Pardi” ci dice con sguardo sicuro, per poi raccontarci come riesce a scovare i felinidi. Il periodo migliore è in primavera, tra aprile e maggio, quando si organizza la battuta di caccia che porta nelle reti almeno 17 Pardi grandi d’oro o d’argento e otto Pardini. Dopodiché vengono conservati al sicuro all'interno di un ufficio, in attesa di essere affidati ai meritori proprietari. “Lavoro qui da 16 anni – ci dice con un velo di tristezza – ma non siamo ancora riusciti a farli accoppiare tra loro”. La prossima primavera, la caccia ricomincia. (Mattia Bertoldi)

How woulda festival be without movies and film makers? Nothing. This is why we wanted to tell the history of the Festival del film Locarno

in a few minutes, choosing some distinctive movies excerpts with the signature of their authors. In 2005, when I was directing the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs in Cannes, I had commanded (following the same principle) a little introductive movie to the film maker Olivier Jahan who encounteredincreasing success with the passing of years. Coming to Locarno, I wantedto pay homage to the cinematic richness of a manifestation which has beenparading some of the greatest names of cinema since its creation, 63 yearsago. The difficult mission to put up about fifty frames was entrusted to Patricia Boillat and Elena Gugliuzza, responsibles of the department Imageand Sound of the Festival, which

Léa Seydoux sa prendere i passaggi giusti. Dopo la copertina del Pardo News sulla moto Guzzi del talentuoso regista Albert Serra, lo scoop locarnese è che è saltata in sella anche sulla nuova fuoriserie di Woody Allen, che per farle posto nel suo set parigino ha creato un personaggio nuovo, fuori sceneggiatura, nella sua nuova commedia romantica Midnight in Paris. Dopo aver cavalcato al fianco di Robin Hood, aver provato i cavalli della moto del giovane cineasta di Girona, prima di arrivare a Locarno si è fatta dirigere da un purosangue. (Boris Sollazzo)

guarantees the outstanding quality of the projections in the Piazza Grande and in the movie theatres. But they areartists, too. They have realized wonderful editing, screened before all the shows, which is already part of the memories preserved by the assiduous or occasional visitors of the Festival. On the captivating piece of music composed by Giovanni Venosta, Silvio Soldini’s usual composer, the film shows the visages of Marcello Mastroianni, Claudia Cardinale, Vincent Gallo, Lou Castel, Brad Pitt, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, the images of Ladri di biciclette (Bicycle Thieves), Andrei Roublev, No Quarto da Vanda (In Vanda’s Room), Gerry, Il grido (The Cry), Planet Terror, the names of Stanley Kubrick, Béla Tarr, Abbas Kiarostami, Roberto Rossellini, Glauber Rocha, Edward Yang, Alain Tanner… History of cinema continues. There is nothing anymore to add to Locarno but every year some names of film makers who are worthy to appear next to these masters. See you next summer.(Olivier Père)

Short flashback: in 2005 you arrived in Locarno with So Much Rice and you won the NETPAC prize. In 2009, at Open Doors, you presented the project, which will become one year later Han jia (Winter Vacation), today awarded with a Pardo d’oro. LI Hongqi, Locarno is in your destiny…For me, this Festival is a source of continual surprises. I cannot be not in love with it that’s why I lived here for some

Sono convinto che l’umorismo sia la strada migliore per lasciare un segno nelle emozioni dello spettatore

“

fundamental stages of my cinematic path. When I arrived here for the first time I was alone, I did not speak a word of English, but I found a familiar atmosphere, also because I immediately met my future producer, Alex Chung. I must be honest, Chinese people always try to hold back feelings, but when I wastold that I won the Pardo d’oro I could not restrain my emotion.Chinese movies have always had a great influence on our Festival. However, your movie is surprising because it is a “lunar” comedy, made of silences and humour…I have always been convinced that humour is the best way to leave a mark on the audience’s feelings. It is anything but calming: it can often impress onto the visual story a style which is more salacious and sharper than the representation of any sadness.

Humour makes its mark. Chinese director wins Pardo d’oro for Han jia(Winter Vacation)

LI Hongqi

Can we say that we have discovered a sort of Chinese Aki Kaurismäki?When I arrived in Locarno in 2005, two critics had immediately comparedmyself to Aki, but I did not even know who he was. When I went back to China, I obtained some DVDs and finally I watched his works. I can say that I really appreciate him, but I do not feel any direct influences. If I had to choose two authors of reference, I would say: Takeshi Kitano and Jim Jarmusch.Han jia, anyway, is a sort of generation portrait of a blocked adolescence, lost in the emptiness of a holiday from the existence...I wanted to keep the desert space, which hosts the story and the waiting of these

adolescents anonymous because they could live in China or in some other place in the world. Consequently, there wasn’t any realistic purpose but the desire to impress onto the framings an atmosphere that can always be unknown to the eyes of the audience. After all, I am very interested inthe existential excavation of human beings who manage the most terrible thing that could ever happen: the loss of whatever sensitivity they have toward the surrounding world.There is a brilliant cue in your movie. It is pronounced by a child who says that, when he grows up, he would like “to be orphan”. What about you, after this Pardo: how do you see your future?I do not think that this prize will change my way to approach the movies.Fixed framings and silences can emit much more tension than a moving picture. After all, I’d also want to be orphan from an artistic point of view, that means maintaining my way to do cinema without being obliged to imitate some masters. As if I were born the very first day, without excesses of influence. Pure, simple and essential.(Lorenzo Buccella)
