Romanian director Florin Șerban’s You Don’t Belong Here (Nu e locul tău aici) won the Pardo d’Oro, or Golden Leopard, at the 79th Locarno Film Festival. The award marks Șerban’s return to feature filmmaking after an eight-year absence.
The father-son drama impressed the jury of the festival’s International Competition through “the strength of its screenplay, the uniqueness of its vision, and its exceptional command of cinematic language.”
