Semaine de la critique

Locarno’s Semaine de la critique (Critics' Week) is an independent event, organised by Switzerland’s national association of film journalists, in cooperation with the director and organisers of the Locarno International Film Festival.

Semaine de la critique (Critics' Week) has been held since 1990, and year after year we continue to review state of the art documentary film making, with a selection of productions chosen for  their particular expressive value or essence. To date, a total of 110 films have been screened, including works by Erroll Morris, Fredi M. Murer, Thomas Riedelsheimer, Nicholas Philibert, Richard Dindo, J. van der Keuken, Zhang Yuan, Davide Ferrario, among others.

Semaine de la critique (Critics' Week) presents works by independent filmmakers for the purpose of provoking debate and opening up new perspectives of awareness and approach.

Every year, we are hoping to bring together a diverse range of works, each with an originality of vision, revealing just how creative and vibrant documentary cinema can be.
