Emma Thompson to Receive Leopard Club Award at #Locarno78
Giona A. Nazzaro, Artistic Director: “Emma Thompson embodies the best of a tradition of performers who continue to be able to infuse each role with the deepest knowledge about the actor’s work. Working with writers as exceptional as she herself is, fearlessly tackling ever-changing registers and characters, moving from Shakespeare to James Ivory, from the magic of Harry Potter to the transformations of Nanny McPhee, she has continued to surprise audiences over a career that has earned her numerous awards.”

“Cinema offers the opportunity to discover new perspectives, cultures, and stories,” says Rithy Panh. “If we have patience, cinema rewards us with its grace. Cinema can also preserve history, influence mindsets, and provide a space for reflection and escape. I am convinced that the diversity of viewpoints and narrative experiences enriches our understanding of the world. As the president of the jury, I wish to highlight films that celebrate this diversity and offer unique perspectives.”
