A review of 'Down the Arm of God' highlights Caleb Landry Jones' performance in a sincere, albeit heavy-handed, drama about a Texas pastor confronting homelessness and his own congregation.

Zoe Saldaña will be recognized with a special honor at the Locarno Film Festival, which will also feature appearances by Claudio Simonetti, Olivia Wilde, Caleb Landry Jones, Monica Bellucci, Isabelle Huppert, and Kingsley Ben-Adir.

Actor and co-writer Caleb Landry Jones recounts the difficult five-year struggle to secure funding for his film 'Down the Arm of God,' a process that also led him to confront prejudices against homelessness.

Locarno Film Festival artistic director Giona A. Nazzaro spoke about the festival's new 'curated diversity' mantra and the inclusion of big names like Isabella Rossellini and Caleb Landry Jones.

The Locarno-premiering film 'Down the Arm of God,' directed by Peter Brunner and produced by Luc Besson, was created with people experiencing homelessness and aims to be a conversation starter.

The Locarno Festival has unveiled the full lineup for its 79th edition, featuring 103 world premieres and an 'adventurous selection' of films from acclaimed directors like Hong Sang-soo, Albert Serra, and Vincent Grashaw.
