Summer evenings once again take on the magic of cinema. The Luxembourg City Cinémathèque invites you to discover a new edition of the City Open Air Cinema. And this year, our open-air screenings are celebrating their 40th anniversary!
Cinema Under the Stars
Since 1986, the Cinémathèque has maintained a long-standing tradition of open-air screenings, held in a variety of iconic locations across the city: from the Cour des Capucins and the forecourt of the Grand Ducal Palace to the drive-in cinema on the Glacis, and today still in the heart of the capital. A wonderful opportunity to celebrate together a summer tradition that has become a true fixture of Luxembourg’s cultural life.
Returning to Place Guillaume II, this year’s edition once again promises suspense, laughter and unforgettable moments as the iconic “Knuedler”, with its giant screen and unique atmosphere, is transformed into a cinema under the stars.
A new addition this year: the Cinémathèque will also be bringing the magic of cinema to Bonnevoie. On the charming Place Léon XIII, our screen will be set up for three convivial open-air film evenings.
We look forward to welcoming you… right under the stars!

In the event of rain, screenings will still take place. Visitors are encouraged to wear appropriate clothing so they can enjoy the film even if there are a few showers.
