The 65th Locarno Film Festival was held from 1 to 11 August 2012 in Locarno, Switzerland. The opening film was the world premiere of The Sweeney directed by Nick Love. Director Souleymane Cisse was honored at the festival with a ceremony and retrospective of his work. Cisse also assisted in the Open Doors section this year, which focused on African films. The Leopard of Honor, was awarded to French director Leos Carax, who attended the festival with his film Holy Motors. A complete retrospective of Carax's work was also featured at the festival. Another retrospective was held for the work of director Otto Preminger. The Locarno Excellence Award was given to Charlotte Rampling and Gael Garcia Bernal, who both attended the festival. Rain forced many night screenings on the Piazza Grande, the 8,000 seat open-air theater, indoors to the smaller Favi theater. The GoPro shot documentary Leviatian and the docu-fiction Museum Hours directed by Jem Cohen were standouts amongst those reviewing the festival. This was artistic director Olivier Père's last year at the festival after three years as its chef. Père stepped down to become the head of the French television network, ARTE. The Golden Leopard, the festival's top prize, was awarded to The Girl From Nowhere directed by Jean-Claude Brisseau.The film had such a small budget, only €62,000 Euros, that just by winning the Golden Leopard's €90,000 Euro cash prize the film was profitable.
