SIBEL (coproduced by Bidibul Productions) is in competition for the Golden Leopard at the 71st Locarno Film Festival.

Throughout its 71 year history, the Locarno Festival has occupied a unique position in the landscape of the major festivals. Every August, Locarno becomes the world capital of auteur cinema. Thousands of film fans and industry professionals meet here to share their passion for cinema in all its diversity.

SIBEL coproduced by Bidibul Productions is officially selected at the international competition section of the 71st Locarno Film Festival.

Reflecting the Festival’s aim to cross and blur boundaries, the Concorso internazionale presents a stimulating panorama of contemporary auteur cinema, where young talent rubs shoulders with that of established directors. A jury of major figures in cinema is charged with choosing one of the competing fiction or documentary features from all over the world, screened as world or international premieres, to win the prestigious Pardo d’oro.
