About 39th Locarno Film Festival
The 39th Locarno Film Festival was held from 7 to 17 August 1986 in Locarno, Switzerland. A special section paying tribute to writer Ennio Flaiano, who worked on such films as La Notte and La Dolce Vita, was screened. Another retrospective tribute section was held for deceased Swiss actor François Simon. A ceremony dedicated to him was attended by his colleagues Jeanne Moreau, Alan Tanner, Thomas Koerfer, and Daniel Schmid. The normal Critics Week section was not held this year. There was also a surprise screening of A Lonely Woman, which was director Agnieszka Holland's last film she made in.
