The 79th Locarno Film Festival opened today on the lakeside Piazza Grande, where 8,000 spectators attended the world premiere of The Green Eyes, the latest film from French directorial duo Fanny Liatard and Jérémy Trouilh. The opening ceremony also honored Isabella Rossellini with the festival's Excellence Award, with additional honorees to be celebrated throughout the event.
