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 Pequet

Season 1: Frédérique Buck & Gintare Parulyte, Eileen Byrne, Catherine Dauphin, Adolf El Assal, Larisa Faber, Godefroy Gordet, Max Jacoby, Baptiste Ménage, Nilton Martins, Nadia Masri, Thierry Mousset, Nicolas Neuhold, Suzan Noesen, Samuel Perez, Émile V. Schlesser, Kim Schneider, Julie Schroell, Govinda Van Maele

FILMREAKTER QUICKIES is supported by the FILM FUND LUXEMBOURG, with the collaboration of the production companies WADY MEDIA and LES FILMS FAUVES.
