Remembering Sir Christopher Lee

Sir Christopher Lee honored at 2013 Locarno International Film Festival

The opening night of the Festival on August 7 dramatically began under a lightening-filled sky in the Piazza Grande, where Sir Christopher Lee received the Excellence Award Moët & Chandon. Film stills of Sir Christopher’s roles were projected on the buildings surrounding the Piazza. Accepting his award, the charismatic Sir Christopher spoke mostly in Italian, stating his mother was from Italy — and then switched to English.

Sir Christopher’s most loved line of the night, “I did it. That was me doing the sword fights with Yoda, not a stunt double.” The audience cheered!

Susan’s interview with Carlo Chatrian, Artistic Director Locarno Film Festival for SydneysBuzz/IndieWire

Chatrian’s passion for filmmakers, cinema and its history is zealously conveyed whether talking about the Festival’s tributes to Christopher Lee, Anna Karina, Faye Dunaway, Sergio Castellitto, Otar Iosseliani, Jacqueline Bisset, Margaret Ménégoz and Douglas Trumbull — to the Pardi di domani (Leopards of tomorrow) a competitive section that will screen shorts and medium-length films by young independent auteurs or film school students, who have not yet directed a feature — to the films screened on the Piazza Grande — to the Festival’s sidebar Histoire(s) du cinéma.
