Another nice aspect of the Locarno Film Festival is the lack of pretentiousness. You never know who you will meet in the street, in the audience, or while waiting in line for a film screening.
We happened across the lead actor from "Parque Via" one day in the streets of Locarno. What a treat this was to spend time with this joyous man. He's not a professional actor, in fact, his day job is that of a janitor. He was asked to play this part by the director because of his ability to realistically portray the character of a servant.
