The Filmreakter asbl was founded in 2002 as a non-lucrative collective of young luxembourgish filmmakers. As the only association of it’s kind in the country, it has quickly established itself as the representative for the local underground scene. Due to the absence of a clearly defined goal or field of operation the association can be used and redefined according to the needs of the filmmaking scene in
Luxembourg, a scene still new and uncertain in it’s direction. The association has thus been seen organizing small festivals such as the regular Open Screen event showcasing the latest in luxembourgish underground filmmaking, co-producing short as well as feature lenght
no- to low-budget films, aswell as programming 2007’s Sunset Cinema project. It has further helped setting up a dialogue between young filmmakers and the national film fund. This year marks the association’s first year of participation in the national film prize, with two productions competing for the prize of Luxembourg’s best film award.Joining the association requires no membership payment and is open to everyone interested in filmmaking, be they teenage film enthusiasts, film students or professionals.Email:
