Vision Award (Locarno Film Festival)

The Vision Award is an award presented annually at the Locarno Film Festival. It recognizes a filmmaker whose work demonstrates a unique and compelling cinematic vision, often characterized by originality, innovation, and artistic risk-taking. The award is not necessarily given to a specific film, but rather to an individual whose overall body of work exemplifies these qualities. The recipient is chosen by a jury of film professionals and is considered a significant honor within the independent film community. The award is often associated with highlighting directors who push boundaries and challenge conventional cinematic storytelling. Further details on selection criteria, past recipients, and the award's history may be available through the official Locarno Film Festival website and related film publications.
