HARD:LINE XIII – Our Sunday

By Sunday, April 19, 2026, HARD:LINE 2026 will be almost over. But only almost! Here’s a quick look at our entire Sunday schedule.

“You should quit while you’re ahead,” as the saying goes. But how are you supposed to know when things are at their best??? Maybe something even better is coming next. Then you would have quit too soon, and that certainly can’t happen… If that were the case, HARD:LINE would probably never come to an end. Here, every day is even better and more eventful than the one before. Almost like a perpetual motion machine of cinematic bliss. But eventually—more precisely, on Sunday, April 19, 2026—HARD:LINE XIII will also be over. And that’s a good thing. At some point, you have to go back to watching regular movies, going to work, or taking a shower. But before reality catches up with us, we’re going to really go all out on Sunday, our last festival day. On the program is STINKER (OT: Sasyq), the intergalactic oddity from Kazakhstan. Our Director’s Spotlight will be highlighted one last time, and Paul Urkijo Alijo will present his feature debut ERREMENTARI. Want to rock out without breaking a sweat? Then we’ve got just the thing for you! As is tradition, the HARD:LINE closing night always features a concert—right in the comfort of the theater! This year’s band: Kali—atmospheric prog-metal from Regensburg! And anyone who knows us knows we always say goodbye with a bang. That’s why our closing film is: JUMP SCARE!

Concert: KALI

Kali – the name of the Hindu goddess of death, destruction, and renewal. A mystical figure who thrives on opposites and is nourished by contradictions. Kali embodies the creative force behind devastation, the inseparable symbiosis of light and shadow. It is precisely this dualism that defines the progressive rock band of the same name from Regensburg.
