Locarno Film Festival
06 – 16 August 2025 // Every summer since 1946, the Locarno Film Festival has brought the world’s most innovative cinema to the shores of Lake Maggiore.

Every summer since 1946, the Locarno Film Festival has brought the world’s most innovative cinema to the shores of Lago Maggiore.
The Locarno Film Festival provides the public with Eco points specifically designed for waste recycling, with accompanying educational information.
The Festival is working to drastically reduce the number of plastic water bottles distributed at its venues.
The Festival is reducing food waste at its events through a partnership with Too Good to Go.
The Festival has introduced a deposit system for glass cups and will use biodegradable cups in the future.
The winner of the Pardo verde WWF 2022 was Matter out of place, a documentary about waste management around the world with the aim of raising awareness about the issue.
Since 2022, the Festival has also donated leftover materials from the event to the Fondazione Diamante, which uses them to make a variety of handmade products and promotes the employment of people with disabilities.
