In just four years Luxembourg City Film Festival has become Luxembourg’s leading cinema event. With 18,300 visitors in 2015 it is one of the European festivals that has achieved the most spectacular growth.

Supported jointly by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Luxembourg, it is the official national event. With this in mind, it is committed to presenting high-quality, exclusive content. Several continental and world premières punctuate ten days of over a hundred screenings, events, masterclasses and workshops in the three partner cinema complexes (Cinémathèque, Ciné Utopia and Utopolis) and many of the capital’s cultural institutions.

Now with its own competition, founded in 2012, for the best in international cinema (with a €10,000 prize for the winner), the Luxembourg City Film Festival also offers a high-quality selection of documentaries (with a €5,000 prize), national productions and films/activities for young audiences.

Running from 25 February to 6 March, the 2016 festival will include again two weekends, providing easier access to several special screenings and the events organised at the festival’s headquarters, the Ratskeller. Once again, it will welcome audiences from the Greater Region and a rich professional scene, with about twenty production companies and nearly 800 film professionals working in Luxembourg.
