Luxembourg City at a glance

Luxembourg is a small market built on co-production: about 1,200 people work in audiovisual production in the country, and Film Fund Luxembourg supports shorts, features and virtual reality work, with local producers and crews increasingly hired on international co-productions. Crews have stages at Filmland in Kehlen and Melusine in Contern, plus animation, VR and post-production houses listed by the fund.

music videos in Luxembourg City

Den Atelier is the country's main promoter of popular music, running its own venue on Rue de Hollerich and also putting on shows at the Rockhal and Neumünster Abbey. The Philharmonie anchors classical and new music, including the Rainy Days festival each November, while summer brings the Fête de la Musique and Kinnekswiss loves. Film Fund Luxembourg even runs a dedicated music video grant, with the Rockhal and Kultur:LX represented on its selection panel.

commercials in Luxembourg City

Commercial work here draws on infrastructure built for film and co-production: the stages, animation studios and post houses that Film Fund Luxembourg lists, and a crew base used to working on international projects. The fund's audiovisual industry directory is the practical place to find a local production partner.
