The End of the Journey, the Beginning of the World has been selected as the closing film of the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland

On June 12, 1905, according to foreign media reports, the film "The End of the Journey, the Beginning of the World", directed by Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, has been confirmed as the closing film of the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland.

The Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland has a long history. As the host of the International A-category Film Festival, Locarno is also a blessed destination for Asian filmmakers. Chinese director Jia Zhangke once served as the chairman of the jury, and Bi Gan's film "Roadside Picnic" has also won many honors here.

The End of the Journey, the Beginning of the World is the first time a Japanese film has been selected as locarno's closing film. In the film, Atsuko Maeda goes deep into Uzbekistan to interview and communicate with the locals, and in the process gradually grows up, opening the door to a new world in her heart.
