\n\tThe Locarno Film Festival will pay tribute to James Gray, bestowing upon the U.S. filmmaker the Pardo alla Carriera, the Career Leopard, presented by Ascona-Locarno Tourism, during its 79th<\/sup>\u00a0edition. <\/p>\n

Gray will receive the award\u00a0in\u00a0the Swiss town\u2019s Piazza Grande\u00a0on Sunday, Aug.\u00a09, and present his latest film,\u00a0Paper Tiger<\/em>, after the ceremony.\u00a0Two key\u00a0titles\u00a0by\u00a0Gray,\u00a0We Own the Night\u00a0<\/em>(2007) and Two Lovers\u00a0<\/em>(2008),\u00a0will\u00a0also\u00a0screen in the\u00a0festival\u00a0program.\u00a0

\u201cSince winning the Silver Lion at Venice for\u00a0Little Odessa<\/em>\u00a0(1994) at age 25, James Gray has forged a singular career rooted, with piercing realism,\u00a0in his upbringing in New York\u2019s Russian-Jewish\u00a0community,\u201d Locarno highlighted. \u201cFilms like\u00a0The Yards<\/em>\u00a0(2000),\u00a0We Own the Night\u00a0<\/em>(2007),\u00a0Two Lovers\u00a0<\/em>(2008), and\u00a0The Immigrant<\/em>\u00a0(2013), cemented Gray\u2019s place as one of\u00a0American cinema\u2019s most artistically distinctive voices \u2013 a filmmaker as concerned with criminal underworlds, rendered with exacting detail, as with meticulous family portraiture, often situated within theBrighton Beach of his youth and shaped by a dialogue with classic American and European auteur cinema.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJames Gray is the last great novelist of American cinema,\u201d said Giona A. Nazzaro, Locarno\u2019s artistic director. \u201cHis films form a\u00a0rich\u00a0body of work that echoes the Jewish diaspora, film noir, and Russian as well as North American literature. A filmmaker with a humanist sensibility and profound cinephile knowledge, he has experimented with genres such as science fiction and adventure while retaining his own artistic identity and voice. Celebrating James Gray at the Locarno Film Festival means paying tribute to a unique and unmistakable artist, a filmmaker who speaks the language of cinema and knows how to pass it on to future generations.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Pardo alla Carriera is being handed out with the support of\u00a0Ascona-Locarno Tourism,\u00a0the destination partner of the Locarno Film Festival, which focuses on the development and promotion of tourism in\u00a0the region. Previous winners of the award include Francesco Rosi, Claude Goretta, Bruno Ganz, Claudia Cardinale, Johnnie To, Harry Belafonte, Peter-Christian Fueter, Sergio Castellitto,\u00a0Otar Iosseliani,\u00a0V\u00edctor Erice, Marlen Khutsiev, Bulle Ogier, Mario Adorf, Jane Birkin, Fredi M. Murer, Dante Spinotti, Costa-Gavras, Tsai Ming-liang,\u00a0Shah Rukh Khan,\u00a0and, last year,\u00a0Jackie Chan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
