Our carefully curated selection highlights breakout voices in the Los Angeles film community and beyond. The festival provides a powerful platform for these emerging artists to gain recognition, network with industry professionals, and screen their work for a dedicated and appreciative audience.
LA International Film Festival is a prestigious annual event dedicated to spotlighting the best in independent filmmaking from both the US and around the world. It provides a vital platform for emerging and established filmmakers to share their unique stories and innovative visions with a global audience. The festival's primary mission is to discover and promote new voices in independent cinema, recognizing the important role these films play in the history of storytelling and culture.
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.
