Film and VR enthusiasts rejoice! Luxembourg Film Fund and Digital Luxembourg have joined efforts to bring to life the third edition of the Virtual Reality Pavilion.

Prime Minister Xavier Bettel and Film Fund director Guy Daleiden unveiled the ambitious programme on Thursday. "By creating synergies between the initiatives of Film Fund Luxembourg and Digital Luxembourg, the government is supporting projects in the field of new technologies," Bettel explained during the press conference.

Forming part of the Luxembourg City Film Festival, the Virtual Reality Pavilion will open its doors on 6 March at 6.30pm. After the success of the first two editions, this year's event shapes up to be a highlight in Luxembourg's cinematic agenda. The third edition is completely dedicated to Virtual Reality and its programme promises to be more original and ambitious than ever before.

Until 17 March, 10 VR installations will turn Casino Luxembourg into a cinematic playground of superlatives: expect immersive experiences and award-winning content.

Also good to know: on the second day of the event, national and international experts will discuss the challenges faced by the VR industry today.

Interested? The event will be free of charge and open to the public from 7 March to 17 March (daily opening times from 11am-7pm). Just walk in, no bookings required.
