Cinémathèque de la Ville de Luxembourg
The Cinémathèque of the City of Luxembourg preserves and promotes international film heritage, holding an impressive collection of archives.
It has a historic screening room located on Théâtre Square, which is currently closed for renovation and expansion works. During this period, the Cinémathèque continues to offer a rich and diverse programme: retrospectives, film lectures, panel discussions, festivals, cine-concerts, as well as activities dedicated to young audiences and seniors. These screenings take place in various venues across the capital — including the Théâtre des Capucins and Cercle Cité — ensuring that everyone can continue to enjoy the unique experience of the big screen.
The Cinémathèque of the City of Luxembourg has been a member of the International Federation of Film Archives since 1983 and was designated a "Treasure of European Film Culture" by the European Film Academy in 2023.
About Ville-Haute district
Ville Haute, the vibrant and historical centre of Luxembourg City!
The origins of today’s Luxembourg can be traced back to the Bock Promontory, a naturally rocky area, where Count Siegfried decided to build a small fortress called Lucilinburhuc (or “small castle”) in 963. Over time, the area kept growing to accommodate the increasing population, well past the original fortress and into the surrounding areas that now make up the city of Luxembourg.
As part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the stunning Ville Haute neighbourhood is full of must-see historical jewels, including the grand ducal Palace, the official residence of Luxembourg’s Grand Duke and Grand Duchess, as well as the gothic cathedral "Notre-Dame de Luxembourg".
