HARD:LINE International Film Festival

Logo of HARD:LINE International Film Festival

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 [...]

This Year’s Theme: Cinema: A Mirror of the World

Cinema acts as a powerful mirror of humanity, reflecting social changes, fears, hopes, and the contradictions of our societies throughout the ages.

GUARRA, the First Buenos Aires International Kinky Film Festival has an unmistakable purpose: to give visibility and celebrate a culture that has historically been marginalized and stigmatized.
This festival is not simply a cinematic event but a space for meeting, exploration, and artistic expression for those who live and create within the kink spectrum.
Our mission is to challenge and dismantle the prejudices that often surround kinky and BDSM practices by presenting authentic, diverse stories that capture the multiple dimensions of this culture. Each film selected for the festival will provide a window into the realities and
experiences of people within the community, offering perspectives that are rarely represented in mainstream cinema.

The fifth of the short film event themed "Animal Freedom" organized by Vegan Çiftlik will be held on July 15-18, 2027.

The works sent to the Festival will be displayed at the camp that will be held at Vegan Çiftlik between July 15-18, 2027.

Rather unusual, rather trapped on the border between dream and reality, silent film has for several years found affirmation at the PSSST! Silent Film Festival organised by the Trešnjevka Cultural Centre.

PSSST! is a unique film festival presenting the art of silent film in a new, exciting and entertaining way. This Festival is a rare gem on the cultural scene which lacks initiatives offering artists the opportunity to try out their skills in this specific (and demanding!) artistic form.

The event confirms its status as a festival in the classic sense of the word through its competition programme in which contemporary “silent” titles are screened to an audience. The best film in the competition is awarded the Brcko Grand Prize, the official award of PSSST! named after the main [...]
