The programme of the 8th Luxembourg City Film Festival (22 February to 4 March) was unveiled at a press conference marked by a public screening of the latest film by Paul Thomas Anderson, Phantom Thread. The screening was held in the presence of the Luxembourg actress Vicky Krieps, who has caused a stir with her remarkable performance alongside co-star, Daniel Day-Lewis.

Traditional official competitions divide feature films and documentary films into two sections, offering film lovers a chosen selection of film productions from all over the globe. Among the ten fiction features in competition for the festival's Grand Prix are productions from Luxembourg (Gutland [+lee también:

The six feature films in competition for the Documentary Prize deal with topics that resonate with the most recent headlines, from modern slavery (A Woman Captured [+lee también:

by Gustavo Salmerón). Artistic Director of Chicago Film Festival, Mimi Plauché will be chairing the jury for the documentary competition. 

In addition to the programming of films aimed at young audiences, the Made in/with Luxembourg category will be judging national film productions and a special evening will also be dedicated to short films made in the area. Launched in 2017, the Virtual Reality Pavilion will be reopening on 21 February at the Casino Luxembourg-Forum d'Art contemporain. It's also worth noting that Atom Egoyan will be holding a masterclass at the Cinémathèque du Luxembourg (24 February), and many renowned guests are expected to make an appearance, such as Volker Schlöndorff, winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes Film Festival for The Tin Drum in 1979. The German filmmaker will be holding a masterclass with the critic Michel Ciment on Saturday 3 March. Outside the city walls, guests can also discover - or revisit – a film by Clement Cogitore, shot in Siberia (Braguino, 2017), an original exhibition of films that are yet to be made at the Galerie des Rotondes (Expo PITCH), and an exhibition dedicated to the illustrator John Howe at Cercle Cité (There and back again. Visions de Tolkien et d’ailleurs, on display until 18 March 2018).

Year after year, Luxembourg City Film Festival gains in popularity and visibility. It has a bright future ahead, at the forefront of technical and aesthetic innovation.
