The Circolo del Cinema Locarno is a historic film club in the Canton of Ticino, Switzerland, dedicated since 1992 to promoting cinema as an art form and cultural medium. As part of a network of Ticino film clubs – including Circolo del Cinema Bellinzona and Circolo del Cinema Lugano – it has established itself as a central player in the region’s cultural scene. The club is open to everyone, not an exclusive or elitist institution: students enjoy free admission, and its programming is both high-quality and diverse.
The Circolo regularly organizes film screenings, often in collaboration with other cultural institutions, offering cinephiles the opportunity to discover films beyond the mainstream. Carovana091 is deeply honored that the Circolo del Cinema has responded with such enthusiasm to the „We See You“ series.
At the historic Gran Rex on Piazza Grande, the ensemble Soussol & Friends – featuring invited musicians from Ticino, Italy, and Switzerland – will perform the composition „Sound the Alarm“ following the powerful film „From Ground Zero 2“.
About the film:
From Ground Zero 2Â is the second part of an anthology of 22 short films by Palestinian filmmakers from Gaza, initiated by Rashid Masharawi and the Masharawi Fund. Created between December 2023 and March 2024, the collection spans documentary, animation, and fiction, depicting life, resilience, and creativity in Gaza. The project provides local filmmakers with a platform to express their dreams and daily realities, sharing their perspective with the world.
The Circolo del Cinema Locarno continues to be an open and meaningful cultural space, where cinema, music, and social engagement intersect. It is an honor for us to present it on our platform and make its activity visible to the public.
