  15th Annual Hardacre Film Festival

August 3,4 & 5, 2012.
Iowa's longest-running independent film festival, The Hardacre is one of the few precious opportunities those of us in our region of the Midwest have to screen truly independent and underground cinema. One of the primary goals of the Hardacre Film & Cinema Festival is to bring a diverse selection of cutting edge independent motion pictures to an Eastern Iowa audience who otherwise would not have an opportunity to view these films. more >> |
