LES FAUVES
Committed to shaking-up the cinematic territory of the Grand Duchy, LES FILMS FAUVES brings to the fore new Luxembourgish talents, with a strong footing in their cultural identity and language, but capable of transcending the local.

We belief that it's by insisting on the specificity of their reality, that their vision becomes universal.

With our experience in co-production and impulse to escape comfort zones we support and fight for the emergence of international auteurs (Rebecca Daly’s MAMMAL, Zoe Wittock’s JUMBO), just as we defend strong and established voices from all horizons (Wang Bing, Rodrigo Moreno, Bertrand Mandico). We aspire to remain free from a restrictive editorial line, operating instead within the border areas between author and genre film, fiction and documentary, encouraging narrative risk-taking - be it lyrical, poetic, strange or fantastic - as much as formal daring, always conscious that “form is the bottom which rises to the surface”.

Expanding our horizons into the XR industry, we are excited to be part of two projects. ITO MEIKYU, directed by Boris Labbé, is currently in production, and L'ETANG is in development. Both are Author's Film Experiences, reflecting our commitment to exploring auteur cinema within this new reality. As with our traditional films, we aim to bring an author's unique vision to the forefront, pushing the boundaries of narrative and form in the immersive world of XR.

The authors we support, rather than forcing a discourse onto us, lend the world their ear, then set out to transform it - offering a fresh, strong, sincere and offbeat look at the world.
