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. [...]

The Humus Film Fest is an international short film festival focused on environmental themes. It aims to showcase both professional and amateur filmmakers, broadening perspectives on the environmental challenges we face: the disconnect between rural and urban areas, the loss of nature in cities, rural depopulation, climate change, and the eco-social transition towards a society more respectful of its environment.

The Humus Film Fest was born and continues in this 12th edition with a distinctly hedonistic and optimistic spirit. Therefore, we encourage filmmakers not only to present stories that address these issues from a stark reality, but also to open their cameras to humor, poetry, surrealism, and experimental art. This allows us to approach more hopeful future environmental [...]

This Year’s Theme: Cinema: A Mirror of the World

Cinema acts as a powerful mirror of humanity, reflecting social changes, fears, hopes, and the contradictions of our societies throughout the ages. Much more than mere entertainment, it shapes our perception of the world, documents history, and explores the human condition, capturing the complexity of reality.
