"The New Vier" – Four more feature films

After scary-movies.de leaked the news on Friday, we are now making it official. Here are four more feature film titles from our 2026 festival program.

"Birds of a feather flock together." This is evident in our long-standing media partnership with scary-movies.de, the online horror magazine dedicated to fantasy films. So a huge thank you to scary-movies.de for "advertising" and supporting us! Today we're making it official and revealing four more titles from our feature film program. Here we go!

Once again, the motto is "It's all in the mix!" BUFFET INFINITY takes an experimental and extremely weird approach, depicting the end of the world from the perspective of retro commercials. What is Al Pacino's daughter Julie up to these days? Making movies, of course – genre movies, to be precise! We are presenting her feature debut, I LIVE HERE NOW, as a German premiere. Things get intergalactic in SASYQ (AT: Stinker) from Kazakhstan. And then there's the fantasy epic IRATI by Paul Urkijo Alijo... but wait a minute, don't we already have one of his titles in the program? ... Ta-da! This also reveals the secret of this year's Director's Spotlight! HARD:LINE 2026 is proud to dedicate a special spotlight to Spanish filmmaker Paul Urkijo Alijo. We are very excited!

That's it for now! We'll continue on Friday, when our media partner Neon Zombie will tease four more titles. Stay tuned!
