The 46th Locarno Film Festival was held from 5 to 15 August 1993 in Locarno, Switzerland.[1] The competition featured 22 film all of which had international premieres,[1] with 17 out of 22 being world premieres.[2] Samuel Fuller was award the Leopard of Honor, for his lifetime achievement in the film industry.[3] A retrospective of Sasha Guitry was held and, in total, the festival screened over 200 films.[3] As was custom to accommodate the international jury, the films in competition were screened with four language translations simultaneously.[3]

The Chinese government tried to stop Locarno from screening the independent film Beijing Bastard directed by Zhang Yuan. The film was described as the first Chinese youth culture rock-and-roll picture. The Chinese government felt it could ban the film outside and inside China, despite the fact that the film was financed in Hong Kong, saying it had not approved the script and it was shot inside the country. Artistic director Marco Mueller declined the government's request and Beijing Bastard had its world premiere at Locarno.[4] In response, the Chinese government pulled the Chinese film An Innocent Babbler from the festival and gave it to the Venice festival.[2]

A restored print of Bernardo Bertolucci's The Conformist was show on the Piazza Grande, the festival's 6,500 seat open-air theatre, to a full house. Bertolucci presented the film himself and seem stunted at the size of the crowd and said he'd love to show more films at Locarno.[5]

The Golden Leopard, the festival's top prize, was awarded to The Place on a Grey Tricorne directed by Ermek Shinarbayev.[6][7]
