Locarno

Chatrian, 51, was the artistic director of the Locarno film festival in Switzerland before moving to Berlin.

When Plateforme 10 was inaugurated, outdoor movies, curated by Switzerland’s Locarno Film Festival, were screened on the outer wall of a museum.

With a slate largely drawn from recent international film festivals — from Berlin and Locarno to Sundance — the 12-day event is also a nice way to travel the world by proxy while previewing work before it begins percolating into art theaters and onto streaming services.

Despite a body of work largely confined to art-house theaters and museum screenings, Mr. Straub was awarded the Leopard of Honor lifetime achievement award in 2017 by the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland, an award that previously went to the likes of Bernardo Bertolucci, Werner Herzog and Mr. Godard.

His first feature, “Charles Dead or Alive,” won the top prize at the Locarno Film Festival.
