PASTURAS. International Film Festival on Pastoralism and Transhumance. PASTURAS aims at raising awareness on the ancestral culture of transhumance through cinema, showcasing fiction and non-fiction films with a focus on this issue, facilitating communication between filmmakers and the audience, and providing learning opportunities to contribute to the development of this culture and the promotion of all audiovisual work around the issue.
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.
