Cat from the Cinémathèque joined the Breakfast Show to share details about the return of Luxembourg’s beloved open-air cinema series, set to begin on the 25th July in Place Guillaume II. With screenings curated by the Cinémathèque, this summer’s programme promises a diverse mix of European cinema, Hollywood classics, and hidden gems, all shown under the stars in one of the city’s most iconic squares.

The open-air season opens with Charlie Chaplin’s 'The Great Dictator', chosen for its enduring political resonance and cinematic legacy. The line-up spans from 1940s classics like 'Sunset Boulevard' to modern Oscar-winner 'Flow', a dialogue-free animated film from Latvia. Audiences can also enjoy cult favourites such as The Big Lebowski', 'The Goonies', 'La La Land', 'Plein Soleil', and 'The Devil Wears Prada'.

The films, shown in their original languages with English or French subtitles, are carefully selected to appeal to a wide range of tastes and generations. “We wanted to offer something for everyone,” Cat explained on air, noting the thoughtful blend of cinephile picks and crowd-pleasers.

In addition to the outdoor screenings, the Cinémathèque will temporarily close its historic indoor cinema on the 1st August with a farewell series titled 'A Love Letter to Cinema', celebrating stories about filmmaking itself. This final programme will run through early September before the screening room temporarily closes for renovation.

With over 25 years of experience in hosting open-air screenings, the Cinémathèque continues to play a central role in Luxembourg’s cultural life. Full programme details and practical information can be found at www.cinematheque.lu
