HARD:LINE International Film Festival

Logo of HARD:LINE International Film Festival

HARD:LINE International Film Festival aims to showcase the many faces of extreme cinema.

What we mean by "extreme" becomes clear when you look at the films we select. While the term is often associated with explicit splatter aesthetics, it can just as easily refer to unusual storytelling, striking visual language, or bold artistic choices. We are looking for films that stand out and push the genre forward. Whether it's a hidden independent gem, a hard-hitting horror film, or pure genre entertainment, HARD:LINE loves special films.

HARD:LINE is not a festival that aims to screen as many films as possible. Instead, we focus on presenting a carefully curated selection of outstanding examples of everything extreme cinema can be.

HARD:LINE is a festival for films made by people. [...]

27 Films. Infinite Impact.

Most film festivals accept hundreds of projects, leaving numerous indie filmmakers lost in the void. The 27 Club Film Festival takes a more selective approach: we accept exactly 27 films per year. Each film gets an equal chance at recognition. Free from overwhelming competition when the screen goes black and your film begins to light up the screen.

If your film is selected, you don't just screen—you become part of an exclusive cohort of extraordinary storytellers who earned a spot in the 27 Club.

Please apply to earn your spot!
