About 52nd Locarno Film Festival
The 52nd Locarno Film Festival was held from 4 to 14 August 1999 in Locarno, Switzerland. The opening film of the festival was East/West directed by Régis Wargnier. The closing film was the world premiere of the Giuseppe Tornatore's re-cut and trimmed down The Legend of 1900. A special section was dedicated to "Joe Dante and the 2nd Corman Generation".
