✨ We are delighted to announce that “Objet a”, the new feature film by Ann Oren, has been selected for the Concorso Internazionale (official competition) of the 79th edition of the Locarno Film Festival, taking place from August 5 to 15, 2026.
After “Piaffe”, selected in international competition at Locarno in 2022, Ann Oren returns to the Piazza Grande with an equally singular second feature. The film, starring Aenne Schwarz, Louis Hofmann and Simone Bucio, is produced by Schuldenberg Films (Germany), Tarantula Luxembourg (Luxembourg) and asterisk* (Greece) with the support of Film Fund Luxembourg, German Federal Film Fund, Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media , Hessen Film & Medien, Creative Europe Media, German Federal Film Board, Hellenic Film and A/V Center-EKKOMEΔ.
This selection in official competition confirms Ann Oren’s place among the most distinctive voices in European auteur cinema today. Join us in Locarno this summer, on Tuesday, August 11, for the film’s world premiere!
