Isabella Rossellini honoured at Locarno Film Festival.

Isabella Rossellini has been feted by the Locarno Film Festival with an Honorary Leopard (Pardo) at its opening night ceremony. The Conclave star follows in the footsteps of her legendary late director father Roberto Rossellini and her producer half-brother Renzo Rossellini as she accepted the prize in Switzerland. "The prize I am receiving tonight is the excellence prize, which is something I haven't heard very often, so I am very proud," she gushed. "And above all moved because my father received this prize for his film Germany, Year Zero in 1948," Rossellini told an 8000-strong crowd on Locarno's Piazza Grande.
