HARD:LINE XIII – Our Thursday

The countdown is on. In exactly one week, the 13th edition of our film festival will open its doors. Behind the scenes, the final preparations are underway. The oil has been changed. Tire pressure is good. The windshield washer fluid is topped off. The engine purrs like one of the “Evil Kittens” from our artwork. But while we’re scrubbing and polishing, we don’t want to leave you hanging, so as you head into the home stretch toward your cinematic bliss, we’ll be providing you with more info and introducing each festival day individually. Enjoy!

Let’s start with Thursday, April 16, 2026—that’s right, exactly one week from now! As of now, our opening film, *THE VIRGIN OF THE QUARRY LAKE*, is sold out. However, seats may occasionally become available at the box office. So, to everyone interested who doesn’t have a ticket yet: arrive early and be patient! Our opening night will kick off with a short opening speech—very festive and official! Following THE VIRGIN OF THE QUARRY LAKE at 10:00 PM is BUFFET INFINITY, which is screening in our “Mr. Trash presents” category. As of now, only a few tickets remain available for this screening. Director Simon Glassman and lead actress Allison Bench will be guests at BUFFET INFINITY and will answer your questions during the Q&A following the film.
