We knew the day would come and we knew why we shied away from it. Especially in the first months of the festival, not everything was round, a new website was created, old texts were lost or not maintained. When it became clear after the third festival that the festival would stay, the original "project" was professionalised. Now, six years later, it was time to take the next step.
The problem with the whole beautiful idea was a database that had grown considerably over the years and needed to be incorporated into a newly designed website. It was clear to us that the heart of a film festival website should be a really well presented programme and, subsequently, an archive. For this, graphics had to be re-cropped and so on. An insane effort that was worth it.
Of course, it is not done with copy work. Design concepts were worked out, graphic and ergonomic preliminary considerations were discussed. Georg Fersch, the most fragrant web designer in the cathedral city, did a great job! He also showed patience when it came to fiddling with details.
The result is far more than we wished for. So, overjoyed and with a broad chest, we are entering a new HARD:LINE season. We hope you enjoy your tour of our new online home until we hopefully see you all again in April when it's cinema extreme in Regensburg!
