On Sunday 19 April 2026, Tarantula Productions, in collaboration with the Rotary Clubs of Luxembourg, will host the premiere of the animated feature film Allez Hëpp Hopp Hopp by Luxembourgish director Caroline Origer at Kinepolis Kirchberg and Kinepolis Belval at 10:30, as part of the Espoir en tête (Hope in mind) initiative.
Produced by Fabrique d’Images in Luxembourg and distributed by Tarantula Distribution, the film is set for national release on Wednesday 22 April 2026.
Fabrique d’Images, founded in Luxembourg in 2002, develops and produces content for children and family audiences across cinema, television and digital media. Allez Hëpp Hopp Hopp, a Luxembourg-led production supported by the Film Fund Luxembourg, was directed by Caroline Origer, with artistic direction by Bruno Murer.
The premiere forms part of the Espoir en tête initiative, led by the Rotary Clubs of Luxembourg, which invites the public to attend a film screening while supporting research into brain diseases, including neurodegenerative conditions and cancer. For each cinema ticket sold at €16, €8 will be donated to research in Luxembourg.
Since 2024, the initiative has also supported Luxembourg’s audiovisual production by selecting a national film. It has been described as a catalyst for brain research in Luxembourg, helping to raise public awareness, improve patient care and support scientific careers through funding for pilot and exploratory studies, often leading to larger grants and scientific publications.
The film will be distributed across Luxembourg in Kinepolis, Cinextdoor and Caramba cinemas (more than ten screens in total), in the original English version, as well as dubbed in Luxembourgish and French.
Tickets for the premiere are available at https://www.espoir-en-tete.lu.
