Several Belgian Films Selected for LuxFilmFest 2025!
Reflection in a Dead Diamond, Jahia's Summer, and TKT are part of the 15th edition of the LuxFilmFest
As the country’s official festival, the Luxembourg City Film Festival presents a carefully curated annual program, featuring numerous film premieres. Offering a true insight into contemporary international filmmaking through a diverse selection of fiction and documentary films, as well as special screenings, national productions, and a section dedicated to young audiences, the festival spans over eleven days.
Reflection in a Dead Diamond by Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani has been selected for the Official Competition. Produced by Kozak Films and internationally distributed by True Colours, the film will have its world premiere at the Berlinale 2025.
John D, a septuagenarian living in a luxury hotel on Côte d’Azur, is intrigued by his next door neighbor who reminds him of the wildest hours on the Riviera during the 1960s. At that time, he was a spy in a rapidly developing world full of promise. One day, this neighbor mysteriously disappears... bringing John face to face with his demons: are his former adversaries back to wreak havoc in his idyllic world?
In the Made in/with Luxembourg section, Jahia’s Summer directed by Olivier Meys and produced by Michigan Films, has been selected. The film had its world premiere at the Göteborg Film Festival a few weeks ago.
Jahia, a teenager from Burkina Faso, lives in a center for asylum seekers in Belgium. With no prospects, Jahia has a fear of the future that isolates her and prevents her from living. One day, she meets Mila, a young Belarusian girl, who drags her along in her crazy energy. It's the beginning of summer, and of a friendship that will change her life.
Lastly, Don’t Worry by Solange Cicurel, produced by Beluga Tree, has been selected for the festival’s Young Audience section.
Confident and popular sixteen-year-old Emma is in a coma. Why? What happened to her? To find out, she becomes an invisible ‘ghost’ for a few days, where she can see all, hear all, and dive back into her memories to rebuild her story.
Let's also highlight the presence of the French-speaking Belgian co-productions: Peaches Goes Bananas by Marie Losier (Michigan Films, Official Selection), Julie Keeps Quiet by Leonardo Van Dijl (Les Films du Fleuve, Youth Audience), and Sirocco and the Kingdom of the Winds by Benoît Chieux (Take Five, Youth Audience).
See you in Luxembourg from March 6 to 16, 2025!
