The story
British and Irish Film Festival Luxembourg in Luxembourg City
The British and Irish Film Festival Luxembourg brings independent British and Irish cinema to Cine Utopia in Luxembourg City. Running under the patronage of the Irish and British embassies, the festival has been introducing local audiences to fresh features, documentaries and dramas from both islands since 2010. Editions are held in spring and again in autumn, giving Luxembourg's film-going public a recurring window onto storytelling from the UK and Ireland.
Luxembourg City is a small capital with an outsized appetite for cinema, and the British and Irish Film Festival Luxembourg, often known by its acronym BIFFL, has spent over a decade feeding that appetite with films that rarely get commercial distribution beyond the UK and Ireland.
