    CinEast 2019 – programme presentation I. GENERAL PRESENTATION Since 2008, the CinEast festival (the Central and Eastern European Film Festival in Luxembourg) has contributed significantly to cultural diversity in Luxembourg by presenting some of the best films and art that Central and Eastern European countries have to offer. Since its first edition, the festival has grown considerably in its scope and diversity of programmes and has attracted a broader audience each year. In 2018, the festival screenings and other events attracted a total of around 10 400 people. The festival programme is complemented by a variety of special events, bringing together different forms of art (music, photography, literature, etc.), thus promoting cultural exchange and friendship through meetings, debates, food and music. It also presents a rare occasion for audiences in Luxembourg to learn about and experience the cultures of the countries represented in a broader sense. The festival is supported by several partners, including the City of Luxembourg, the Ministry of Culture, Cinémathèque, Neimënster, Kinepolis group, Film Fund Luxembourg, our main sponsors Docler Holding and Kulczyk Investments, as well as the embassies and cultural and film institutes of the countries represented. II. KEY FEATURES IN 2019 The 12th edition of the CinEast festival will take place from 3 to 20 October 2019 and will feature over 120 screenings (65 feature- length films and around 50 short films), as well as numerous accompanying events, including concerts, ciné-debates, two exhibitions, culinary events, special evenings and the CinEast Pro co-production forum. Besides the main festival venues in the City of Luxembourg – the Cinémathèque, Neimënster and Ciné Utopia – screenings will also take place at the Ancien Cinéma in Vianden, and other cinemas around the country (Kulturfabrik in Esch-sur-Alzette, CNA in Dudelange, Rumelange and Mondorf-les-Bains).

II. KEY FEATURES IN 2020 The 13th edition of CinEast festival will take place from 8 to 25 October. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, this year CinEast will take the form of a “hybrid festival”, by combining regular screenings in cinemas with screenings available online. The audience will for the first time be offered online content to complement the screenings in cinemas. This will compensate for the reduced capacities of physical venues and offer the possibility, especially to vulnerable groups, to watch a selection of films at home.

    CinEast brings Central and Eastern European cinema to Lux... http://www.filmneweurope.com/events-festivals/festivals/103... Tuesday, 09 October 2012 CinEast brings Central and Eastern European cinema to Luxembourg The fifth edition of CinEast (www.cineast.lu) - the Central and Eastern European Film Festival in Luxembourg - will be held from 11 to 28 October 2012 in 13 venues in Luxembourg city and other towns and will offer over 90 screenings of cinematographic works from 12 post-communist countries, as well as many accompanying events. “In 2012, the festival has again grown substantially, doubling the number of represented countries by adding the three Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) and three ex-Yugoslavian countries (Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia). With over 50 different feature films and 40 short films on the programme, including documentaries and animated works, over 20 guests, an official competition, special-themed evenings, debates, screenings for children and teenagers, as well as six musical events, a photo exhibition, gastronomic events and a charity project, the CinEast festival presents a very rich and varied excursion into the cinematography and wider culture of the Central and Eastern European region.” (Radek Lipka, programme director of CinEast festival)The aim of the CinEast festival is to present a selection of mostly new and recent films, often awarded prizes at major festivals but rarely seen in the cinemas of the Grand Duchy, to the multi-national Luxembourg audience. It also strives to promote the cultures of the participating countries through various accompanying events (music, culinary, exhibitions etc.) and to become a platform for meetings, discussions and exchanges within the multicultural society of Luxembourg.

  • Concerts Balkan Party
    CINEAST 2018 – CONCERTS BALKAN PARTY with DŽAMBO AGUŠEVI ORCHESTRA live & DJ Tagada Friday 5 October from 7.30 pm Melusina Fresh trumpet-led brass avalanche from Macedonia topped up by a fiery Balkan DJ set Džambo Aguševi Orchestra is a thrilling brass band from Macedonia expertly performing a fusion of traditional Balkan, Gypsy and Turkish music, influenced by swing, jazz, pop and film music. Performing with his trumpet since the age of 11, Džambo Agušev has won numerous trumpeters’ competitions, dominating the Kumanovo Trumpet Festival continuously from 2006 to 2011 when he was kindly asked not to compete anymore to give his peers a chance. In 2011, Džambo fulfilled his dream to win the most highly respected festival, Serbia’s Guča Trumpet Festival (known as “Woodstock for trumpets”) and thanks to his virtuoso playing and innovative arrangements, he has earned himself the title of the new Balkan king of the trumpet. After touring the world (with notable performances at WOMEX 2014 and Mexico City Festival Historico) and releasing “Brass Like It Hot” – their first international album – the Džambo Aguševi Orchestra is now coming to Luxembourg for the very first time to drop on you an unprecedented bomb of high-energy Balkan groove. Right after the concert, the fire on Melusina’s dance-floor will be further stoked up by the essentially Balkan- flavoured selection of DJ Tagada. Behind mixing desks for 10 years now, this French DJ mesmerises audiences worldwide with his energising fusion of brass fanfares, gypsy punk, electro, klezmer and modern beats. He is the other face of the notorious Balkan Beats label – together with our star of last year, DJ Robert Soko, who describes him as “A bastardo DJ of an almost extinct species, unpredictable, unbending, and sometimes simply shameless - but one of the few DJs who can bring the dance-floor to a dance-orgasm.” Are you ready to experience that? Throughout the evening you can enjoy hearty Eastern European warm dishes and cold snacks on the upper floor of the venue.

    bigworldpictures.org presents Booking contact: New York and Los Angeles Press Contact: Jonathan Howell Sasha Berman Big World Pictures Shotwell Media Tel: 917-400-1437 Tel: 310-450-5571 [email protected] [email protected] SYNOPSIS AFERIM! Dir. Radu Jude Romania/Bulgaria/Czech Republic / 2015 / 106 min / B&W / DCP! (shot on 35mm) In Romanian, with English subtitles Aspect ratio: 2.35:1 Sound: Dolby Digital 5.1 Silver Bear – Best Director – Berlin International Film Festival; Grand Prize City of Lisboa – IndieLisboa International Independent Film Festival; Official Selection – Tribeca Film Festival; selected to represent Romania for the 2016 Academy Awards Eastern Europe, 1835. Two riders cross a barren landscape in the middle of Wallachia. They are the gendarme Costandin and his son. Together they are searching for a gypsy slave who has run away from his nobleman master and is suspected of having an affair with the noble's wife. While the unflappable Costandin comments on every situation with a cheery aphorism, his son takes a more contemplative view of the world. On their odyssey they encounter people of different nationalities and beliefs: Turks and Russians, Christians and Jews, Romanians and Hungarians. Each harbors prejudices against the others which have been passed down from generation to generation. And even when the slave Carfin is found, the adventure is far from over... Radu Jude’s third feature has been aptly compared to films as diverse as THE SEARCHERS, THE LAST DETAIL and PULP FICTION (the latter for its rambling, coarse and endlessly entertaining dialogues), but the film is ultimately a moving parable about late-feudal Europe developed from historical documents and songs: its power structures and hierarchies, people's ideas of themselves and others, interaction with minorities and the resulting conflicts.
