The cat’s out of the bag—our 2026 festival program is complete. Here it is: the brilliantly ingenious, cleverly crafted schedule that will guide you through the festival, just like a school timetable used to. “1st Period – Body Horror! 2nd Period – Splatter Trash! Heinz-Rüdiger!!! What’s wrong with you?? Checking your phone during the movie??? Get out!!! Detention right now at the cinema bar!!!” …uh, or something like that! We know how it is: sometimes you think you have no plan. But now it’s here—the only plan you’ll need from April 16–22, 2026! Study it! Scour it! Admire it in all its glory! Take it all in and forge your battle plan for the festival! A little tip: all the films and events are very, very good! Have fun!
Please note this year's special feature:
• “Main Festival” = Ostentorkino – That’s where HARD:LINE takes place, just as you know it. That’s where the premieres are held. That’s where the film guests are. That’s where the Q&As are. That’s where the party and the concert are. Short films – only here!
• The Andreasstadel Cinemas = “Second-run venue” – Movies are shown there one or more days later. No premieres. No celebrity guests. No frills. Just the movies.
Enjoy our 2026 festival program. Next stop: Ticket shop – Thursday, March 26, 2026, at 6:00 p.m.!!!
