First Look , the work in progress section of Locarno Film Festival – spotlighting six feature films in post-production stage – is heading to Canada for its 14th edition.
“Canada was on our radar for a while, as we believe there’s a roster of great talents being produced in that territory which brings a great diversity and also a good mix of emerging and established filmmakers,” noted Locarno’s Industry Manager Daria Voumard.
“Canadian films are also very well represented in our official selection; therefore the choice was quite organic.”
In the past, First Look presented new productions from Colombia, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Israel, Poland, Baltic countries, Portugal, Serbia, Switzerland, Germany, the U.K. and Spain.
