The Filmreakter asbl was founded in 2002 as a non-lucrative collective of young luxembourgish filmmakers. As the only association of its 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 its 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 length no- to low-budget films and programming a cinema in 2007.
In 2009 Filmreakter organized its first International Short Film Night in association with the DirActors International Film Festival Luxembourg.
We have thus far been able to sustain our association’s existence by our own means and hope to be able to continue doing so for the time to come.
Joining the association requires no membership payment and is open to everyone interested in filmmaking, be they teenage film enthusiasts, film students or professionals.
