Description
In light of the event's resounding success in recent years, the City Open Air Cinema, organised by the Luxembourg City Cinémathèque, is back again this year in the very heart of the city. The moonlight cinema experience promises to be "larger than life": Outside cinema experience, where you can watch your favourite characters on the silver screen under the starry night sky.
The Cinémathèque will also be visiting Bonnevoie. The charming Place Léon XIII will be transformed into an open-air cinema for three evenings.
The programme includes a variety of fun and mainstream films, both contemporary and classic, as well as cult movies and cinematic masterpieces, all shown in a splendid outdoor setting. This year's selection is sure to dazzle.
Admission is free!
