Oliver Stone, Ridley Scott, Michael Bay, Gus Van Sant... these are just some of the iconic filmmakers who have called on award-winning editor Pietro Scalia to help them realise their visions. With a career spanning over 30 years, 2 Oscars and many more awards, Scalia has helped shape some of the most iconic films in Hollywood history, "Gladiator", "Black Hawk Down" and "JFK" to name but a few.
In August, he received the Vision Award Ticinomoda in Locarno and sat down with our host Alexander Miller to share fascinating anecdotes, such as the first time he met Gus Van Sant or sitting in the editing room with Ridley Scott and Steven Spielberg... the life of a Hollywood editor!

About Locarno Film Festival:
Conceived in 1946 in the aftermath of World War II, the Locarno Film Festival was destined to be a platform for the rebirth of freedom of artistic expression, and since its inception the annual event has hosted the boldest, most avant-garde and innovative forms of filmmaking. Lying between the mountains and the Swiss shore of Lake Maggiore, once a year the city of Locarno is decked out in the yellow-and-black Leopard spotting of the Festival colors to host an intensive, 11-day celebration of cinema.
