Got a free sofa? Then the press conference is coming to you!

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Hof International Film Festival, we’re once again turning a living room in Hof into a press studio. 

On Sunday, October 11, 2026, we’ll arrive at your place from 3:30 p.m., and the online press conference will go live at 4:00 p.m. Joining us: Artistic Director Thorsten Schaumann, the program of the 60th Hof International Film Festival – and plenty of excitement for six decades of Home of Films. 

Do you live in Hof or within a maximum radius of 15 kilometers? Then invite at least five friends and show us why your living room is exactly the right place for the occasion. 

Send us your funniest, most creative or most charming invitation to by Tuesday, October 6, 2026. The best idea wins – and we’ll bring the press conference straight to your home. 

Because cinema thrives on encounters, conversations and shared moments. And sometimes, that’s exactly where it all begins: on the sofa. 

We look forward to receiving your applications.
