The Locarno Film Festival announced the winners of its various competition sections ahead of an award ceremony at the festival's Piazza Grande tonight. The jury for the international competition, headed by Palme d'Or-winning Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul, awarded the venerable Golden Leopard prize to veteran French filmmaker Jean-Claude Brisseau for "La Fille De Nulle Part" ("The Girl From Nowhere"), a quasi-fictional film in which the director stars as a retired teacher who takes in a young woman to his Parisian home after she runs away from her partner. "The movie is about cinema and made with an economy of means," said Weerasethakul at a press conference with his fellow jury members.
