Locarno Film Festival

The 51st Locarno Film Festival was held from 5 to 15 August 1998 in Locarno, Switzerland.[1] There were 11 first or second features in competition out of 20 total.[2] The opening film of the festival was Mulan directed by Tony Bancroft and Barry Cook.[1] It was screened on the Piazza Grande, the 7,000 seat open-air theater.[3] The Piazza Grand also featured the international premiere of Small Soldiers directed by Joe Dante, who was awarded the Leopard of Honour for cinematic achievement in his career.[4][2][5]

The growing importance of the Piazza Grande screens to big distributors was exemplified by the success of last years The Full Monty, which won last year Audience award.[6] This year My Name Is Joe directed by Ken Loach won the Audience award.[1]

During the opening of the festival, there was a public fight between the festival board, including festival president Raimondo Rezzonico, and festival director Marco Mueller. Mueller demanded more control over the budget and a three year contract or he would resign.[1][7] Some of Mueller's budgetary demands were to add AC to theaters and maintain the four languages of translation for films. However, another issue with organizers was the festival's shift towards Hollywood blockbusters under Mueller's tenure as director.[1][5] Mueller had technically resigned in October, before the start of the festival, but had agreed to stay on until the end of festival.[7] On the second to last day of the festival the jury issued a open-letter in support of Mueller.[8]

Other problems at the festival included the theft of a large replica giant statue of the Golden Leopard and the disappearance of jury member Goran Bregovic who left the festival without informing anyone and abandoned his jury post.[3]

The Golden Leopard, the festival's top prize, was awarded to Mr. Zhao directed by Lü Yue.[9][1][10] The director Lü Yue, a cinematographer on many Zhang Yimou films, brought his own film to the festival without permission from the Chinese government.[1]
