Международный кинофестиваль HARD:LINE призван представить различные грани экстремального кино.
Вопрос о том, что означает термин «экстрим», можно понять, взглянув на содержание нашей широкой подборки фантастических фильмов. Понятие «экстрим» часто определяется выраженной эстетикой брызг, но оно также может быть выражено необычными методами повествования или экзотическим визуальным языком. Поэтому мы тщательно отбираем примеры, которые могут пригодиться жанру в будущем. Мы не ставим перед собой никаких границ, и независимо от того, является ли фильм жемчужиной независимой сцены, забавой или простым делом, H:LIFF любит особенные фильмы!
Международный кинофестиваль HARD:LINE — это не просто фестиваль, где главное — показать как можно больше фильмов, а показать несколько ярких примеров всего, чем может быть экстремальное кино.
