Locarno Film Festival

The 57th Locarno Film Festival was held from 4 to 14 August 2004 in Locarno, Switzerland.[1] This year at the festival was noteworthy for its political films and documentaries, including The Hunting of the President and Control Room which juxtaposed media coverage of the Iraq war between American new agencies and Al Jazeera. Journalist Carl Bernstein attended the Control Room screening and participated in the panel discussion that followed.[2][3] Seventeen films were set to screen on the Piazza Grande, the 7,000 seat open-air theater, but rain forced many showings inside.[3][2]

The Golden Leopard, the festival's top prize, was awarded to the Private directed Saverio Costanzo, which focuses on a Palestinian family whose home is occupied by the Israeli military. [1]
