The the 73rd Locarno International Film Festival officially announced that it will launch a film festival project called "Locarno 2020-For the Future of the Film", which will release the film online and publish some content about the film market. The goal is not to host the entire film festival online, but to incentivize the production and distribution of independent films. Of course, the film festival also stated that if safety can be ensured, the film festival will also show some movies in local movie theaters.

The Locarno International Film Festival is the earliest and largest international film festival held in Switzerland and one of the oldest large-scale international film festivals in the history of the world's film industry. Together with the Cannes International Film Festival , Venice International Film Festival , and Berlin International Film Festival, it is also called the "Four European Film Festivals". The highest honor of the festival is the Golden Leopard Award. The former chairman of the Venice Film Festival, Mark Mueller once praised, "The Locarno Film Festival is the prince of the European Film Festival." The film festival is also the first international film to discover new Chinese films and have a deep relationship with the fifth generation director Section.
