Qualifying Awards
Winners of these awards qualify for Oscar consideration.
Pardino d'Oro — Best International Short Film
Live Action
Renamed 2026-09-10 to the competition rather than the sponsor: Locarno rotates sponsors (the international Pardino d'Oro moved from Swiss Life to Arts3 Foundation for the 79th edition), so a sponsor-named award is an unstable identifier. Sponsor variants are kept as aliases.
