On 4, 5 & 6 July, the Cinémathèque de la Ville de Luxembourg will be screening a selection of feature films from the Semaine de la Critique 2024 selection.

         —     Semaine de la Critique – Cannes

Since 1962, La Semaine de la Critique, a parallel section of the Cannes Film Festival, has been spotlighting young, emerging film talent. This platform, programmed by members of the Syndicat français de la critique de cinéma, offers short films as well as first and second features.

Since its creation, La Semaine has revealed the work of such renowned filmmakers as Chris Marker, Jacques Audiard, Arnaud Desplechin, François Ozon, Bernardo Bertolucci, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Ken Loach, Andrea Arnold and Wong Kar Wai. The Semaine team is now led by critic Ava Cahen (Le Cercle, FrenchMania, Le Masque et la plume…) and continues to support the emerging voices of world cinema who will be the established directors of tomorrow.

         —     At the Cinémathèque

The Cinémathèque de la Ville de Luxembourg is delighted to announce a three-day partial screening of feature films from the Semaine de la Critique’s 2024 Selection, with an introduction to each film by Ava Cahen General Delegate of the Semaine de la Critique Cannes. At the same time, La Semaine and the Cinémathèque are organising daytime workshops for students and film professionals in Luxembourg.

The revival will offer Luxembourg audiences a unique opportunity to discover Cannes gems just a few weeks after their world premiere on the Croisette.
