Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival HÕFF

Every spring, the town of Haapsalu becomes Estonia's most mysterious city for a few days when HÕFF — the Haapsalu Horror and Fantasy Film Festival — begins. It is one of the most unique genre film festivals in the Baltics, bringing the world's best horror, fantasy, and cult films to visitors from Estonia and neighboring countries.

The heart of HÕFF is a carefully selected quality program. The festival features award-winning, acclaimed works from prestigious international genre film festivals, many of which have not previously been shown in Estonian cinemas and often do not reach general distribution. Therefore, HÕFF offers a unique opportunity to discover films that cannot be seen elsewhere in Estonia.

But HÕFF is much more than a film festival. The screenings are complemented by meetings with filmmakers, special events, thematic activities, and festival buzz, bringing together both passionate film enthusiasts and curious visitors.

Add HÕFF to your spring travel plans and discover the town of Haapsalu in a completely different light!
