About 27th Locarno Film Festival

The 27th Locarno Film Festival was held from 1 to 11 August 1974 in Locarno, Switzerland. The festival showcased films from 17 countries. A retrospective of Swiss cinema was organized and sent by ex-artistic director Freddy Buache. One film which received considerable attention was Die Rote Pest [The Red Plague] (1938), a Swiss film that, at the time, was considered anonymously created and was theorized to be produced by ultra-conservative bankers and Nazis. Other films of note were Roland Klick's gay film Supermarket and John Waters' underground film Pink Flamingos.
