The 39th Locarno Film Festival was held from 7 to 17 August 1986 in Locarno, Switzerland.[1] A special section paying tribute to writer Ennio Flaiano, who worked on such films as La Notte and La Dolce Vita, was screened.[1] Another retrospective tribute section was held for deceased Swiss actor François Simon. A ceremony dedicated to him was attended by his colleagues Jeanne Moreau, Alan Tanner, Thomas Koerfer, and Daniel Schmid.[2] The normal Critics Week section was not held this year.[3] There was also a surprise screening of A Lonely Woman, which was director Agnieszka Holland's last film she made in Poland before leaving.[2]
This year, two films shot scenes at the festival, on location, for use in future movies, including what would become the 1987 film Remake directed by Ansano Giannarelli.[2]
The director of the TV section, Giancarlo Bertelli, who pioneered the television movie competition at the Locarno film festival, was vindicated when the FIAPF adopted his rules as the framework for all future television competitions at other festivals. The television section continued to be a growing part of the festival and attracted many television buyers from networks, including RAI.[4][2]
The Golden Leopard, the festival's top prize, was awarded to Jezioro Bodeńskie directed by Janusz Zaorski.[5][6]
