QUICKIES is a short film initiative by the Luxembourg Filmmakers’ association FILMREAKTER, launched during the Covid-19 pandemic by directors Adolf El Assal and Govinda Van Maele.
The premise is simple:
- Filmmakers each receive a fixed sum (2020€ in Season 1 and 5050€ in Season 2) to produce a film of no more than 10 minutes. The money can be dispensed as they see fit
- They deliver the edited film on a set date for a very quick sound post-production make-over
- As soon as each film is ready it is released to the public via multiple platforms
Participating filmmakers:
Season 2: Adolf El Assal, Alain Randresy, Chris Poulles, Eileen Byrne, Elisabet Johannesdottir, Esther Gaspart, Ganael Dumreicher, John-Paul Gomez,
Julie Schroell, Lisa Folschette, Max Thommes, Roxanne Peguet
Season 1: Frédérique Buck & Gintare Parulyte, Eileen Byrne, Catherine Dauphin, Adolf El Assal, Larisa Faber, Godefroy Gordet, Max Jacoby, Baptiste Ménage,
