The Hof International Film Festival, also known as Hofer Filmtage, is a German film festival held annually in October in Hof, Bavaria, Germany. Founded in 1967 by Heinz Badewitz, it is recognized as one of Germany's most important film festivals and a platform for new discoveries, often referred to as "Hof – Home of Films" by Wim Wenders. The festival traditionally focuses on German films, including many debut works from German film schools, but also features a significant number of independent international productions. Over six days, approximately 130 films, comprising feature films, documentaries, and short films, are screened, with most being German or world premieres.
