2nd International Drag Film Festival
Entries open
From June 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 at 23:59 hrs.
Krew! It is the first Film Festidrag in the world. It began to take place in October 2024, in the city of Monterrey Nuevo León, Mexico in the Cineteca Nuevo León. This year we are calling for Audiovisual Directors and Producers, Drag Queens and people passionate about Drag to participate with a Drag Short Film no more than 30 min, as well as incorporating the new category "Reely Queen" Reel Short film in Vertical no more than 90 seconds.
General Information:
Krew! Is an International Drag Film Festival with stories starring Drags artists, which brings together audiovisual material from around the world to exhibit it in movie theaters and reward the best productions with a night of awards, “The Krew Dragwards”.
The origin of the name:
“Krew!” spelled backwards "Werk!" And it is an expression used by the Drag and LGBTTTIQ+ community that would be translated as "To start, work or execute something so well and with so much sumbling, using all possible skills and tools to transmit something with such precision and confidence that no one can be able to criticize you, cast a shadow at you, decipher you or read you. Also the word Krew! It directly resembles the word Crew, translated into Spanish as Crew, to refer to the team that makes up the production of a movie or a Festidrag.
The International Film Festival with a Gender Perspective in Hospitalet was born in 2025 with the support of L’Ajuntament de L’Hospitalet, Torre Barrina, Final Girls Berlin Film Festival i Dones Visuals with the aim of visualizing the gender perspective through horror cinema. Promoting values through leisure. Providing windows, visions different from the hegemonic ones. Generating new perspectives. Offering opportunities and a space of representation.
The best audiovisual tool: horror.
Genre cinema is more trendier than ever, with a boom and an increase in the prestige of authors who speak from a diversity perspective. An opportunity to provide new perspectives for all types of audiences.
PASTURAS. International Film Festival on Pastoralism and Transhumance. PASTURAS aims at raising awareness on the ancestral culture of transhumance through cinema, showcasing fiction and non-fiction films with a focus on this issue, facilitating communication between filmmakers and the audience, and providing learning opportunities to contribute to the development of this culture and the promotion of all audiovisual work around the issue.
HARD:LINE International Film Festival aims to present the various faces of extreme cinema.
The question as to what is meant by the term “extreme” can be understood by looking at the content of our wide selection of fantastic films. “Extreme” is often defined by an explicit splatter aesthetic but it can also be represented by unusual story-telling methods or an exotic visual language. Thus, we are meticulously selecting such examples that could be important in the future of the genre. We have not set any boundaries in our search and whether a film is a pearl of the independent scene, fun splatter or no-brainer, H:LIFF loves special films!
HARD:LINE International Film Festival is no warehouse festival where the priority is to show as many films as possible but rather concentrates on presenting a few glowing examples of everything that extreme film can be.
