The cinema of Luxembourg
Luxembourg cinema is one of Europe's cleverest success stories, a film culture that has turned its small size into a huge strategic advantage. For decades, it has been a powerhouse of international co-production, with its national film fund acting as a magnet for filmmakers across the continent. Instead of trying to compete with giants, it became an essential partner, nurturing a world-class industry known for its technical excellence. This collaborative spirit led to a moment of huge national pride when the beautiful animated short Mr Hublot triumphed at the Academy Awards, bringing home an Oscar. More recently, this creative energy has produced global hits, most famously the gripping crime drama Capitani. Filmed in the country's own distinctive Luxembourgish language, the series became a worldwide sensation on streaming platforms, putting a modern, thrilling face on its screen culture. What makes Luxembourg’s film culture so remarkable is this blend of shrewd international partnership and proud local identity. It’s a cinema that proves you don’t need to be big to be brilliant.
