2010 Hardacre Film Festival Entry Form

Quad-City Times film critic Linda Cook raves about three of our films:

- The Iowa City Press-Citizen talks to Iowa filmmakers about their entries.

- CorridorBUZZ.com spotlights the Hardacre Theater and previews the festival.

- The Quad-City Times on our status as Iowa's longest-running film festival.

- An excellent article in the Gazette talks with two of our documentary filmmakers.

- Reviews of some Hardacre films from Iowa City's premier entertainment monthly (and Hardacre co-sponsor) Little Village.

- The Hardacre was recognized at the ICKY Awards for our 10th anniversary in 2007. The ICKY's is the annual awards celebration for the Iowa Cultural Corridor Alliance. Read more here. The trailer for our 2007 Best Documentary award winner, Abel Raises Cain, was shown and received a great response!
