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 [...]

A NEW KIND OF FILM FESTIVAL

Berlin Gate isn't built like other festivals — and that's the point. Born in Berlin, a city that has always crossed borders, BGIFF opens a new path for independent cinema from every corner of the world: a festival designed not only to judge films, but to get them seen and supported.

We believe every project has a spark of brilliance in it somewhere. That's why every eligible film here gets a real chance to be seen — not just a line in a rejection email.

OPEN FROM THE FIRST CLICK TO THE FINAL NIGHT

Most festivals go silent after you press "submit". We don't. From the day you enter to the final night in Berlin, every step of the journey is clear: where your film stands, what comes next, and how it can go further.

FREE TO ENTER. BUILT TO BE SEEN.
