Resident Institutions

The PalaCinema Locarno hub brings together six resident institutions: CISA, the Locarno Film Festival, RSI’s Locarno antenna, the Media and MINT lab for SUPSI, the Ticino Film Commission and the host institution itself. Their coexistence creates a unique ecosystem in which diverse expertise comes together, intertwines and generates a constant flow of cultural energy.
