The story

CinEast Central and Eastern European Film Festival in Luxembourg City

CinEast is a non-profit film festival founded in October 2008, held every October across venues in Luxembourg and dedicated specifically to Central and Eastern European cinema. Each edition presents more than 100 screenings, including over 60 feature films and more than 40 short films, alongside concerts, exhibitions, debates and gastronomic evenings. A charity project runs alongside the film program, and the festival draws roughly 10,000 festival-goers annually.

CinEast was founded in October 2008 to address a gap in Luxembourg's cultural calendar: while the country hosted festivals covering broader international and national cinema, Central and Eastern European film lacked a dedicated annual platform of its own.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

CinEast's regional focus is what sets it apart from Luxembourg's other film festivals: rather than a general international program, it is built entirely around Central and Eastern European cinema, giving films and filmmakers from that region a dedicated annual showcase rarely offered elsewhere in Western Europe

02

The mystery stays covered

The program's scale matches that specialization, with more than 100 screenings each October split between over 60 features and more than 40 shorts, and the festival extends well beyond the screen with concerts, exhibitions, debates and gastronomic evenings built around the region's culture

03

The city starts moving

A built-in charity project woven into each edition adds a non-profit, community dimension that a purely commercial festival would not carry
