Do you love it too? That tingly feeling before it really gets going. Your pulse rises in joyful anticipation, you can feel your heart pounding. The last moments before a long weekend in a state of emergency that will delight, amaze and perhaps even shake you. That's right, Easter! ... Or what did you think we were talking about here? No, seriously now. HARD:LINE 2024 is on its way and thundering mercilessly towards you! (We've finished with this Easter number once and for all anyway - some of you may remember). And even if you're still wondering where your colorful nests might be hidden, we'd like to take this opportunity to present all the days of the festival to you again in a compact format. So forget your balls for a moment and take a look at HARD:LINE Thursday.
19:00 OPENING + BROOKLYN 45
And now you're here... sitting in your mega-comfy Ostentor cinema seat, having stocked up on three half pints of beer from the cinema pub as a precaution and looking ahead with anticipation. Somehow there are still a few guys fidgeting around on the stage at the front, but they'll be gone soon... for sure. And then nothing stands in the way of a wonderful first evening.
So long: sit back and enjoy the latest prank from director Ted Geoghegan, to whom this year's Directors Spotlight is also dedicated.
22:30 THE EMU WAR
And on evening no. 1, we know no more boundaries of taste and unleash a colorful bouquet of craziness on you with THE EMU WAR. You're welcome to leave your wits at the box office, then there'll be more room for other things for 73 outrageously hollow minutes.
Based on true events (!!!), this work by director team John Campbell, Lisa Fineberg and Jay Morrissey is sure to bring tears to your eyes: from laughter or pain in the brain.
