The 10th Locarno Film Festival was held in mid-July 1957 in Locarno, Switzerland.{{Cite news |date=May 22, 1957 |title=Pictures: 1957 film fests. |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/964051594 |work=Variety |pages=11 |volume=206 |issue=12|id={{ProQuest|964051594}} }} This was the festival's return after the previous year's festival had been canceled due to conflict between film producers and Swiss film distributors over market fees.{{Cite news |date=May 30, 1956 |title=International: Cancel locarno pix fest. |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/1017025656 |work=Variety |pages=14 |volume=202 |issue=13|id={{ProQuest|1017025656}} }}

Michelangelo Antonioni's film Il grido was honored with a best picture award from the Swiss Association of Film Journalists, despite its censorship battle in Italy. 12 Angry Men directed by Sidney Lumet and The Young Stranger directed by John Frankenheimer were also well received at the festival, winning Swiss-Italian Radio critic's awards.{{Cite news |date=July 24, 1957 |title=Pictures: Italy's Censored 'II Grido' Cops Swiss Critics Award; Two U.
