When Film History Becomes Visible on Paper

Original Film Posters in the Klostergalerie

The exhibition „Film Art on Paper – Cult Posters of the Hofer Film Festival“ brings original film posters from the archive of the Friends of the International Hofer Film Festival to the Klostergalerie of the Diakonie Hochfranken. Visitors can discover a piece of Hofer film history in a special artistic form: on paper.

Film posters are much more than mere advertisements for a movie. They combine images, text, and design into their own visual language. Even before the first film begins, they evoke expectations, convey moods, and spark curiosity about the screen. In this exhibition, the posters themselves take center stage. Their motifs and designs point to the special connection between film art and public cultural life in Hof.

Insights into the Archive of the Hofer Film Festival

Original samples from the archive of the Friends of the International Hofer Film Festival will be displayed. The exhibition makes visible how closely the history of the Hofer Film Festival is linked to its graphic representation. Each poster carries the memory of a film and at the same time of the atmosphere of a festival.

The exhibition location is the Klostergalerie of the Diakonie Hochfranken at Klostertor 2 in Hof. The presentation can be seen until November 12, 2026. This offers an opportunity to visit for everyone interested in film, graphics, festival history, or regional culture.
