I'll definitely try to go to this festival this year. If anyone is interested and is unfamiliar with Switzerland, please, let me know. I'll be happy to help. Most people (at lease those involved in Tourism) in Ticino speak English, but they are more comfortable with Italian or French.

Manga Impact, in collaboration with the Cinema Museum of Torino (Italy), is a program incorporated within the next International Film Festival of Locarno (Swizterland), which will propose a retrospective of Japanese animation since its early inception in the 1940's. It will cover a wide range of genres and types, from the most commercial productions to auteurs' works. If you've never been to the Locarno festival, I highly recommend it. But you have to make your reservation asap, because Ticino, the Swiss-Italian region where Locarno lies, is small and doesn't have so many hotels or accomodation opportunities. And they'll be all very quickly taken as this event is reknown worldwide. The Festival will take place 5-15 August 2009.
