The 7th Locarno Film Festival was held from 2 July to 12 July 1953 in Locarno, Switzerland.[1] This was the first time the festival had a films for tourism section[1]
The festival was also notable for screening films from three countries under Soviet influence, the Soviet Union (Russia), Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, despite many European festivals admitting no films from the Soviet bloc during this period.[2] This is, in part, due to the fact that films at Locarno were submitted by their Swiss distributors not directly by their government.[2]
