Film festival in Locarno, Switzerland
53rd Locarno Film Festival Opening film X-Men directed by Bryan Singer Location Locarno , SwitzerlandFounded 1946 Awards Golden Leopard: Baba (Father) directed by Wang Shuo Artistic director Marco Mueller Festival date Opening: 2 August 2000 (2000-08-02 )
Closing: 12 August 2000 (2000-08-12 ) Website LFF
The 53rd Locarno Film Festival was held from 2 to 12 August 2000 in Locarno , Switzerland.[ 1] There were 18 films in competition. The opening film of the festival was the international premiere of X-Men directed by Bryan Singer .[ 1] [ 2] The Leopard of Honor was awarded to Paul Verhoeven , for his cinematic career, and his film Hollow Man had its European premiere on the Piazza Grande , the 10,000 seat open-air theater.[ 3] A section called "Kings of the B's" was held to celebrate B-movies .[ 1]
This was artistic director Marco Mueller's last year at the festival. After 9 years as the head of the festival Mueller left to become a film producer. Upon leaving he said it was hard to have a festival niche between big Hollywood summer releases and art house cinema, especially when losing out on films to the Venice Film Festival .[ 4] Derek Elley of Variety remarked that, "Muller failed in his ambition to turn the well-regarded but basically eggheady Euro art-movie event into a glitzy fest to rival Venice."[ 5] This was also the last year for recently hired festival president Giuseppe Buffi who passed away two weeks before the opening night.[ 5] In a closed meeting the day following Buffi's death, Mueller told the festival committee he would be resigning.[ 5]
The Golden Leopard , the festival's top prize, was awarded to Father directed by Wang Shuo .[ 6] [ 7] [ 4] The film was completed in 1996, but was banned by the Chinese government. Locarno artistic director, Marco Mueller arranged to smuggle the only English subtitled print out of China for the festival.[ 8] Baba (Father ) had its world premiere at Locarno and was shown without any prior advertising as a surprise film.[ 4]
