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 [...]

You know it better than anyone: making a film of less than 4 minutes requires a lot of talent and creativity. That's why the Très Court has been honoring them for more than twenty years with its International Festival, which takes place simultaneously in June in about fifty places on the five continents. The screenings take place exclusively on the big screen, in theatres or outdoors, for an audience as faithful as it is fervent.

The Très Courts are divided into six selections, two of which are in Competition: International Competition, Women's Words Competition, French Selection, Family Selection, Documentary Selection, and the Laugh(before the end of the world) Selection.

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.

Welcome to our 60-second short film festival.

Can you imagine telling a story in just one minute? That's what we're looking for in this festival: creativity, wit, and originality in each of the short films.

The idea of creating this festival arose from the need to promote independent cinema and new forms of audiovisual expression. In a world where time is a precious commodity, one-minute short films are an ideal option for enjoying cinema quickly and effectively.

Additionally, this format allows anyone to tell their story, regardless of their level of experience in the film world. The goal of this festival is to give a voice to those who want to tell a story but often feel limited by duration and resources. In this festival, creativity is the limit, and large budgets are not [...]
