(JB) Luxembourg WW2 drama “Eng Nei Zäit” is one of a number of Luxembourg co-productions to be nominated in the francophone film awards in Beirut.

Directed by Christophe Wagner and released in October last year, the thriller recounts the return home of a Luxembourger after fleeing the German army he was conscripted to fight for and joining the resistance. But, his country no longer living under German occupation, home is far from being the safe and just place he expected.

According to film producer SAMSA, “Demain, après la Guerre”, as it is known in France, was nominated for the Trophée Francophone for best director and for best leading man, in Luc Schiltz.

Other Luxembourg co-productions nominated include “The Brand New Testament” by Jaco Van Dormael, “La Supplication” or “Voices from Chernobyl” by Pol Cruchten and “Quenottes” by Pascal Thiebaux and Gil Pinheiro.

The winners will be announced at a ceremony in Beirut on December 3.
