Co-produced by Walter Salles and the Dardenne brothers, and awarded the Best Director prize at Venice, Manas is our May’s LuxFilmLab.

The first feature-length fiction film by documentary filmmaker Marianna Brennand, the film deals with the 13-year-old Tielle’s sensitive and powerful resistance to the system that oppresses her and all women.

Come and see the film exclusively on Wednesday 7 May at 8 pm at Ciné Utopia.

About LuxFilmLab :
The first Wednesday of every month, LuxFilmLab – a joint initiative by Luxembourg City Film Festival and Kinepolis – highlights one feature film, chosen in cooperation by LuxFilmFest’s team and the Kinepolis programme team. A member of the Festival programming team introduces the special LuxFilmLab screenings, with the aim of supporting films whose release dates didn’t allow for them to be selected for the Festival itself but whose artistic qualities would very likely have led to their inclusion in the LuxFilmFest line-up.

*LuxFilmFest isn’t involved in the commercial aspects of these screenings. Access to the screenings and ticket prices are set by Kinepolis.
