Fabrizio Cestari/Courtesy Locarno Film Festival The Locarno Film Festival will celebrate Italian actress and director Asia Argento with its lifetime achievement award dedicated to creative pioneers.
She will receive the award on Aug. 13 in the Swiss lakeside town’s 8,000 seat outdoor Piazza Grande venue, where she will also present her most recent film, Jorge Thielen Armand’s “Death Has No Master.”
Argento, who is Italian horror maestro Dario Argento’s daughter, made her onscreen debut as a child in Lamberto Bava’s “Demons 2″ (1986) and subsequently appeared in Nanni Moretti’s” Palombella rossa” (1989); hit comic Carlo Verdone’s “Perdiamoci di vista” (1994); and Italy-based Peter Del Monte’s “Traveling Companion” (1996). Argento started working with her father in “Trauma” (1993) followed by her turn in “The Stendhal Syndrome” (1996).
