Cinema tickets
Tickets for cinema screenings can be purchased either online via the ticket shop or directly on site at the Bürgergesellschaft. The ticket shop link is available on every film page.
Please note that all screenings have open seating.

| Reduced Ticket* | 7.50 € |
| Ticket 5-Pack | 39 € |

Unless otherwise stated, an age rating of 18 years and older applies to all screenings, as the films have not yet been tested by the FSK.

Proof must be shown both when purchasing tickets on site and upon entry to the cinema.
Accompanying persons of people with disabilities who require assistance will receive a free ticket when purchasing in person (subject to availability). Our support team will gladly reserve your tickets — please call us one day before collection.

On-Demand
Alongside the cinema screenings, a large selection of festival films will be available online via HoF On-Demand until Sunday, 2 November 2025.
Films become available for paid streaming after their cinema premiere and can be viewed as individual on-demand screenings — just like in the cinema.
Each on-demand screening* typically includes one short film and one feature film.
With the Short Film Pass, you’ll get access to all short films in the program.
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Single Stream | 7.50 € |
| Stream 5-Pack | 35 € |
| Stream 10-Pack | 60 € |
| Short Film Pass | 25 € |
*Once playback has started, each film remains available for 48 hours.
HoF On-Demand is available within Germany only.
Please note that some films may have limited availability or a cap on the number of streams.
Due to FFA (German Federal Film Board) regulations, certain titles cannot be made available for online streaming.
