About 37th Locarno Film Festival
The 37th Locarno Film Festival was held from 10 to 19 August 1984 in Locarno, Switzerland. For the first time in the history of the festival, the President of the Swiss Confederation, leader of Switzerland, attended the festival. Other notable attendees included writer Patricia Highsmith, actor John Hurt and ambassadors from Italy and India. This was considered the highest attended Locarno festival to date, with an unofficial estimate of 50,000 attendees. This was great news to organizers who had scheduled the festival a week later than usual to avoid competition from the television broadcast.
