About 33rd Locarno Film Festival
The 33rd Locarno Film Festival was held from 1 to 10 August 1980 in Locarno, Switzerland. The festival was shorter than in the past due to the reopening of the Venice film festival, which was held at a similar time. The Locarno Festival secured an increased budget with more money coming from the government and private industry, including Swiss banks and Swissair. However, after the central government failed to take into account inflation, the festival's budget was not given the full increase.
