Michael Palmieri’s & Donal Mosher’s OCTOBER COUNTRY screens in the “Filmmaker of the Present Competition” at the 2009 Locarno Film Festival on August 9, 10, 11.
Geographically located at the crossroads of three major regions of Switzerland, with an audience that reflects these three major European cultures (Italian, German and French), the Locarno Festival has made an asset of its special situation. Every August, around 180,000 cinema-goers, 1,100 journalists, and 3,400 professionals converge on the small Swiss-Italian town of Locarno.
