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 and programming 2007′s Sunset Cinema
project. It has further helped setting up a dialogue between young
fılmmakers and the national film fund. 2007 marked the
association’s first year of participation in the national film prize
with two nominated productions, one of which ended up winning the
prize for best shortfilm – Jeff Desom’s “Plotspoiler”.
In 2009 Filmreakter organized it’s first International Short Film Night
in association with the DirActors International Film Festival Luxembourg
and has this year joined NISI MASA – European Network of Young Cinema
as an observer member.

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.
