The enfant terrible of American cinema will receive the honor in Locarno’s Piazza Grande on August 5. Ferrara will present an exclusive preview of extracts from his latest work, 4:44 LAST DAY ON EARTH, starring frequent collaborator Willem Dafoe and currently in production. Festival-goers will also be able to catch several older films by the director, including the cult titles BAD LIEUTENANT and KING OF NEW YORK.
