The Horror and Fantasy Film Festival (HÕFF), which this year is celebrating its 20th anniversary, will take place from May 1 to 3 in Haapsalu. This year’s programme will feature more screenings than normal, with up to 15 films scheduled each day.
To celebrate the special milestone, festival director Helmut Jänes promises some surprises for attendees. A warm-up event will also take place in Haapsalu on the evening of April 30, although the details remain a secret for now.
Festival passes are now available for purchase. The first 20 passes are offered at a special price of 60 euros, after which they will cost 70 euros until March 31, rising to 80 euros from April 1. The pass provides access to all screenings, including the opening ceremony, although only a limited number of passes are available for this popular festival.
Tickets for individual films will be available in April, with the full programme to be announced in February.
For more information, visit HÕFF official website.
