11 editions already!
The first edition of the Lëtzebuerger Filmpräis took place in 2003, under the joint venture of public authorities, the Association of Film Technicians (ALTA), the Association of Filmmakers and Scriptwriters (LARS), the Association of Actors and the Producers Association (ULPA). The biennial event was organised by the Film Fund Luxembourg until 2014. Since then, the Luxembourg film awards have been organised in collaboration with the Filmakademie. The roles are clearly defined: the Film Fund coordinates the award ceremony and the academy organises the voting.
If you are a member of one of the founding associations, a stakeholder in the film or audiovisual industry, head of a cultural film institute, a specialist teacher, a film critic, a festival director or a cinema operator, you are eligible to join the Filmakademie.
