The Locarno Film Festival has announced their lineup for the 67th edition, taking place this August between the 6th and 16th. It speaks for itself, but, um, wow...
"Every film festival, be it small or large, claims to offer, if not an account of the state of things, then an updated map of the art form and the world it seeks to represent. This cartography should show both the major routes and the byways, along with essential places to visit and those that are more unusual. The Festival del film Locarno is no exception to the rule, and I think that looking through the program you will be able to distinguish the route map for this edition." — Carlo Chatrian, Artistic Director

Tonislav Hristov’s Love & Engineering is to open the 20th edition of the Visions du Réel documentary film festival.
The film about a Bulgarian computer engineer searching for a formula to create irresistible seductive power for four desperate digital geeks searching for analogue love will open this year’s festival in Nyon, Switzerland tomorrow (April 24). The festival runs from April 25 to May 3.
The German-Finnish-Bulgarian co-production won the Audience Award at DocPoint Helsinki and is set to be screened at Hot Docs Toronto and the Tribeca Film Festival this month.
Nyon’s 2014 edition will see the festival celebrating two anniversaries: in 1969, the Festival international de cinéma Nyon was founded by the later Berlinale director Moritz de Hadeln, and the name change to Visions du Réel was taken by present artistic director Luciano Barisone’s predecessor Jean Perret in 1995
19 feature-length documentaries from 17 countries in the festival’s main competition will be judged by an International Jury comprising UK producer...

Philosophers such as David Bowie have long wondered if there is Life on Mars. In recent decades however, scientific discoveries about the Red Planet have changed the debate from “Is there life?” to “when are we going?” For one eclectic group at least, the question is not an academic one, it is a goal they are working towards seeing in their lifetime. They are The Marsdreamers, a diverse group of writers, scientists and students who yearn for the ultimate adventure: to settle a new world. Directed by veteran Swiss director Richard Dindo, The Marsdreamers (Les rêveurs de Mars) introduces us to the hopes and dreams of these would be pioneers in order to ponder what life would be like on Mars, the hardships that would have to be overcome, and what this would mean for humanity and for the Earth should we ever choose to go to the stars.
