LUXEMBOURG, COUNTRY OF HONOR OF THE 28th EDITION
CINEMANIA renews the tradition of the French-speaking country in the spotlight: this year it will be Luxembourg and its artisans in the fields of cinema, television, virtual reality, documentary and animation that will be celebrated at the beginning of the 28th edition. On this occasion, a large delegation of producers, filmmakers and institutional representatives will make the trip. Among them, we can already mention the confirmed presence of producers Claude Waringo, Jani Thiltges and Bernard Michaux, co-founders of Samsa Films, a pioneering production company in the country with a strong French-speaking expertise (at the origin of the Netflix series Capitani), as well as documentary filmmaker and photographer Fabrizio Maltese (California Dreaming, I Fiori Persi, L'Invitation) and Alexis Juncosa, Artistic Director of the Luxembourg City Film Festival. Many other guests will be announced in the coming months.
