Over the seventy-plus years of its history, the Locarno Film Festival has earned a secure position on the leading edge of the prestigious international film festival scene. Lying at the heart of Italian-speaking Switzerland on the shore of Lake Maggiore, with the Alps at its back, Locarno is transformed for eleven days each August into the world capital of auteur cinema. For the second time in a row, a group of young NCCR Molecular Systems Engineering scientists was invited to participate actively in the festival program. In this episode, Renan Leonel from Brazil shares his Locarno experience. Renan is a sociologist affiliated with the ETH Zurich Health Ethics and Policy lab led by Professor Effy Vayena.
