Luxembourg City's 'Open Air Cinema' will return this summer to turn Place Guillaume II into a film lover's paradise, with free screenings of iconic films and a unique live-scored version of Buster Keaton's 100-year-old classic Sherlock Jr.
Luxembourg City's 'Open Air Cinema' will once again be set up on Place Guillaume II this summer. Cinématique, which organises the outdoor screenings from 25 July to 1 August, promises a variety of fun and well-known films, with "heartwarming classics" and "thrilling blockbuster" included in this year's programme.
Notable films are Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, Michael Curtiz' Casablanca, and Les Demoiselles de Rochefort by Jacques Demy. A special highlight will be Buster Keaton's silent comedy Sherlock Jr., which celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, and which will be shown on the final night while accompanied by a live music performance.
All films will be shown in original language with French subtitles, with screenings starting at 9.30pm. Though they are free of charge, a first come, first served basis applies. Snacks like popcorn will also be available on site.
