Luxembourg City Film Festival 2024

Day of the tiger (Tigrú)

The film tells the story of Vera, a veterinarian at a zoo in Transylvania, who takes in a pet tiger on the same day that she makes a shocking discovery about her husband. On the verge of a nervous breakdown, Vera lets the tiger escape, then sets off to track down the animal before it wreaks havoc. The movie has already won two awards in Romania.

Terrestrial Verses (Ayeh Haye Zamini)

In this series of snapshots, Iranians navigate the constraints of everyday life. They tackle the cultural, religious and institutional restrictions imposed on them by the authorities, school teachers and bureaucrats. The film has already won several awards at other international festivals.

Toll (Pedágio)

Since its release, the film has won various awards across the globe. The film shines a light on the life of Suellen, a toll collector who is struggling to come to terms with her son's homosexuality. In order to pay for the costly conversion therapy, she gets drawn into a criminal gang who target the wealthy motorists who pass through her tollbooth.

This is the first exhibition showcasing the talent of the famous Chinese director in Luxembourg. Three individual stories and four films recounting the personal memories of the anti-Rightist campaign and the Cultural Revolution in 20th-century China are on show at the Cercle Cité until 14 April. Wang Bing connects collective memory with history in his work. He weaves a tale of individual destinies that evoke a shared political and societal past. Moreover, he adopts a minimalist visual approach, allowing the audience to focus on the powerful content of his work. You can find more information about the exhibition here!
