Wang Bing, Mrs Fang, 2017 Locarno Festival Award Winners
Wang Bing

The documentary Mrs. Fang directed by Wang Bing was today crowned the winner of the Pardo d’oro at the 2017 Locarno Festival. Also at the awards ceremony, the Prix Public UBS was awarded to The Big Sick, by Michael Showalter.

When asked, how did he feel about the award, Wang Bing responded, “I’ve been working on documentaries for over ten years but this is the first time I am receiving such a great prize. It is a great and deep honor for me to get this award for Mrs. Fang. I want to see it as a start of my future projects. A very good one! Locarno is the best platform to show art films, because here there is an audience, coming from all over the world, which is attentive to every single film that is screened.”

The 71st Locarno Festival will take place from August 1 to 11, 2018.
