The 54th Locarno Film Festival was held from 2 to 12 August 2001 in Locarno, Switzerland.[1] Nineteen films from twelve countries were screened in competition, of which, fifteen were world premieres and nine were directorial debuts.[2][3][1] In total, there were 28 world premieres throughout the main three sections of the festival.[3][2]
The opening film of the festival was Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within directed by Hironobu Sakaguchi.[3] The closing film was Moulin Rouge! directed by Baz Luhrmann.[2] The festival also held the world premiere of Peter Bogdanovich's The Cat's Meow and the European premiere of The Devil's Backbone directed by Guillermo del Toro.[3] The Piazza Grande, the 7,000 seat open-air theater, also featured Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes[1] and Lagaan directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, which won the audience award.[4][2]
The Leopard of Honor was awarded to Chinese director, Chen Kaige.[5][1] Special Leopards of Honor were also awarded to two organizations: the Sundance Film Institute and film journal Cahiers du Cinéma.[6][5] The festival also featured a retrospective called "Out of the Shadows: Asians in American Cinema" that featured over 60 films from the silent to modern era. In the context of festivals, the film magazine Cineaste called it "the first ever attempt to chronicle the history of Asians in American cinema."[7][6]
This was Irene Bignardi's first year as the festival director following the departure of Marco Mueller.[4][8] She was previously the film critic for Italian newspaper La Repubblica.[6] She returned the Piazza Grande to its tradition role only featuring out of competition films and expressed a desire to refocus the Filmmakers of the Present into a cohesive section rather than a "grab bag" of film and video.[9]
There was a fight between jury members this year and the winning films were not chosen unanimously. Jurors Luara Morante, and Emilie Deluze, the French director, stormed out in protest during the award press conference. However, this did not effect prizes being awarded.[4]
The Golden Leopard, the festival's top prize, was awarded to Off to the Revolution by a 2CV directed by Maurizio Sciarra. It was the first Italian film to win at the festival in over 20 years.[4]
