Submissions Open for 2026

Starting today, you can submit films to us and apply for the upcoming HARD:LINE Film Festival 2026.

The monster is still asleep and dreaming of the future HARD:LINE film festival. Today, however, we are opening the cage door and asking you to come closer. Because in order for us to exist, we need you and your films. 

Summer is over. The "stagnant time" begins. However, we hope that the following time - at least for us - will not be quite so "stagnant", because: we want to stare! We want to sift! We want to discover! We want to laugh, we want to cry. We want to be scared silly. We want to wonder and we want to be amazed. We want to and will watch our eyes sore so that we can present you with another colossal film festival next year. Therefore: apply and send us your short and feature-length films so that we can use this "staaade time" for viewing.

You have until the end of January 2026 to submit entries via Filmfreeway and Festhome.
