There is also a lot to discover beyond the movie theaters at this year's Hof International Film Festival. With HoF PLUS, we have put together a diverse supporting program that illustrates the special atmosphere of the festival: up close, spontaneous and always good for a surprise.
You’ll find our special place for festival encounters at the Bürgergesellschaft (BG). It is not only the business center and event location for HoF PLUS, but also the central place for all (!) festival guests, interested cinemagoers and accreditation holders and those who might want to become one:
