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 [...]

The LA MIRADA TABÚ film festival wants to motivate artists and creators to show their view of the “taboo” concept, which is broad and diverse, encompassing from the dreams, the unconscious, the mental worlds and the ghosts that populate them , the mystery, the magic, even the untold reality, the unsaid, "the clothes hanging", in the workplace, emotional, family, vital ... from a vision as polyhedral as human thought is: casual, humorous, dramatic, dreamlike ... always from respect for all ways of thinking and from creativity.

LA MIRADA TABÚ launches an invitation to bring to light the personal and non-transferable world of each creator, which, as we have been able to verify throughout the history of art and cinema, through great names in world cinematography, connects with [...]

The International Film Festival of the Central University (FICUC) and the Central University’s film program are once again present to invite students, alumni, and the public to the ninth edition of FICUC.

This year’s vision will be an invitation to reflect on a cinema that embraces Latin American diversity, rather than pursuing a model tailored to satisfy those colonial perspectives that seek to dictate what cinema in our continent should be.

The ninth edition of FICUC opens its call for submissions to all types of national and Latin American short films created during academic periods at the undergraduate, graduate, master’s level, etc. Likewise, short films produced outside academic periods will be accepted, provided they are certified by the participants’ university (such [...]

The 1st Raíces Film Festival was born within the Galician Brotherhood of Venezuela as a tribute to those who crossed the ocean to establish a new home. Inspired by the strength of Galician migration, this festival is a window into stories of descent, diaspora, and cultural fusion. 'Raíces' seeks to explore on screen that pivotal moment where two worlds meet. Here, cinema is the bridge between where we come from and who we are now.

For a film to be admitted to the official selection of 'Raíces,' its narrative must directly or indirectly address migration, descent, roots, or cultural fusion. The story must contain a relationship, mention, or decisive influence involving at least two distinct nationalities or cultural heritages, whether through a migrant character, a clash of [...]

Welcome to the AZIMUTH International Film Festival — where cinema doesn’t just tell stories; it changes the angle of perception.

In navigation, azimuth is not a destination — it’s a direction. In cinema, it’s the creative bearing chosen by a filmmaker. We are not interested in well-trodden paths. We are looking for bold new routes.

AZIMUTH is a compass for contemporary cinema, based in the heart of Moscow.

We exist to discover, support, and celebrate films defined by a unique authorial vision and artistic courage. Our mission is to create a dynamic platform where fearless debutants and established masters meet in dialogue — united not by where they have been, but by where they are heading.

We are searching for films that:

• Set a new creative vector and redefine cinematic [...]

The SalvaPastores™ Film Awards were created to raise awareness, dignify, and give greater value to the profession of being shepherd and milk producers (goat, sheep, cow, buffalo...), as well as the fundamental role they play in the sustainability of the land, food production, and the preservation of cultural and environmental traditions.

This initiative stems from the SalvaPastores™ project, spearheaded by Michele Buster, co-founder of the international company Forever Cheese, who throughout her career has championed artisan and iconic cheeses and specialty foods from Spain, Italy, Portugal and Croatia.

The aim of the awards is to change the social perception of how this profession is perceived, one that has often been associated with negative stereotypes or a profession left [...]
