HoF – The Place to Grow

From October 21 to 26, 2025 (plus7streamdays until November 3), Hof once again becomes what it means to filmmakers and film lovers from around the world: a vibrant place of new beginnings, meaningful encounters, and creative growth – The Place to Grow.

The festival poster features the radiant HoF logo set against a dark, textured background. Above it, colorful trees grow upward, reaching toward a source of light that offers direction, warmth, and inspiration. A visual full of hope, diversity, and movement.

The landscape of Hof and its region is marked by vast, dense forests. – deeply rooted, mysterious, powerful – reflect exactly what the festival stands for: retreat and renewal, transformation and fresh starts. This is not where trends are born – this is where visions grow.

HoF is a space where small ideas evolve into something greater. Where careers take off and shape the cinematic world. HoF is a festival family, offering support, energy, and trust – so that something new can emerge. The light of the cinema guides the way, helping us grow beyond ourselves – far beyond the screen.
