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.

Practical information

Free entry – no ticket required

All screenings are free and open to the public. Seating will be provided and allocated on a first come, first served-basis. Designated areas will also be available for anyone who prefers to bring their own chairs, blankets, or other accessories to enjoy the screening in comfort.

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.

Arrive early and enjoy a relaxed pre-screening aperitif from 20:30. Whether at Place Guillaume II or in Bonnevoie, visitors can have a drink, unwind, and spend time with fellow film lovers before the magic of the big screen begins.
