The festivals 06-10
06 / 1972
“One half of the program is made up of premieres of short and feature-length films, the other half of important films from other festivals such as the Quinzaine des Realisateurs in Cannes, the International Forum of Young Films, Berlin, the Festival San Remo, the Internationale Filmwoche Mannheim and Venice 1972.”
“The event was pretty international.”
07 / 1973
“For the seventh time, films will be screened in Hof that otherwise would never be seen in the local theaters. Which exemplifies the festival’s dual purpose: to close an existing cultural gap and also to show films that even beyond Hof are hardly known or just from newspaper reports.”
“To show five films that are really good is quite a lot.”
10 / 1976
“The Hof IFF is a provincial festival that takes place out in the sticks and is of national and international stature.”
“What was shown on the screens was the other cinema, the anti cinema, the political cinema, the literary cinema, the hobby cinema, the fun cinema, the music film etc.”
