The story

Luxembourg City Film Festival in Luxembourg City

Luxembourg City Film Festival, known as LuxFilmFest, is the country's official film festival, established in 2011 and supported by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Luxembourg. Running across eleven days, it screens fiction, documentaries and Luxembourgish national productions at Cercle Cité, the Cinémathèque de la Ville de Luxembourg, Ciné Utopia and Kinepolis Kirchberg. Awards include a Grand Prix worth 10,000 euros and a Documentary Prize worth 5,000 euros.

Luxembourg City Film Festival was established in 2011 to give the Grand Duchy a proper national showcase for cinema, backed from the outset by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Luxembourg rather than operating as a purely independent venture.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

LuxFilmFest's official standing sets it apart: backed directly by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Luxembourg, it functions as the country's national film festival rather than an independent or purely commercial event

02

The mystery stays covered

Screenings spread across four distinct venues, Cercle Cité, the Cinémathèque de la Ville de Luxembourg, Ciné Utopia and Kinepolis Kirchberg, giving the eleven-day program a citywide footprint rather than a single-cinema focus

03

The city starts moving

The festival also dedicates a specific Documentary Prize worth 5,000 euros alongside its main Grand Prix worth 10,000 euros, giving non-fiction filmmaking its own recognized category rather than folding it into the general competition, while consistently showcasing Luxembourgish national productions alongside international fiction and documentary work
