THE LONG ISLAND FILM FESTIVAL IS THE LONGEST RUNNING FILM FESTIVAL ON LONG ISLAND!
Our MISSION is to discover, promote and give venue to independent filmmakers, not just from the greater New York area, but from other regions of America and abroad. For 34 years, the Long Island Film Festival has presented high quality film programs and has made a major contribution to the Long Island community by promoting films that are entertaining, educational and enhance the general public's understanding of cinema culture and the humanities.
During those 35 years, we have witnessed filmmaking transform itself from a strictly film medium to a highly technological global digital art form with sophisticated software operating on specially configured computers. As a result, there are more filmmakers attempting to break into the film industry. It is those new filmmakers that the Long Island Film Festival seeks to discover.
As an international film festival, World Lens focuses on foreign Indie filmmakers that are producing films that are pieces of their culture and set in economic, social, environmental, and political spheres. It is the commitment of the Long Island Film Festival to bring these films to America and present these perspectives to Long Islanders to enlighten and enhance their understanding of the world around us.
Our online festival is second to none. With thousands of views worldwide including industry personnel and distributors that have access to the site we have he edge over other festivals. The films selected for the online festival will be viewed on www.longislandfilmfestivalonline.org from August 1 - 31 2017. In addition the films will be screened at several venues throughout the year.

Le festival international du film HARD:LINE vise à présenter les différents visages du cinéma extrême.
La question de savoir ce que l'on entend par le terme « extrême » peut être comprise en regardant le contenu de notre vaste sélection de films fantastiques. L' « extrême » est souvent défini par une esthétique explicite des éclaboussures, mais il peut également être représenté par des méthodes de narration inhabituelles ou un langage visuel exotique. Nous sélectionnons donc méticuleusement de tels exemples qui pourraient être importants pour l'avenir du genre. Nous n'avons fixé aucune limite dans notre recherche et qu'un film soit une perle de la scène indépendante, qu'il soit amusant ou évident, H:LIFF adore les films spéciaux !
Le HARD:LINE International Film Festival n'est pas un festival d'entrepôt où la priorité est de montrer autant de films que possible, mais se concentre plutôt sur la présentation de quelques exemples élogieux de tout ce que peut être le cinéma extrême.
