The PHAROS Shiver Screen Award was presented once again at the 59th International Hof Film Festival – a joint initiative by PHAROS – The Post Group and The Playmaker Munich to promote genre films and offer new talent a bigger stage.

Sometimes things come full circle in the most wonderful way:
The PHAROS Audience Award 2025 at the Leipzig Film Art Fair went to ZWEIGSTELLE – a film that is particularly close to our hearts. This is because our PHAROS junior team played a key role in the post-production of this extraordinary debut film.

From now on, feature films, trailers, and teasers can be shown and approved at our Türkenstraße location not only in perfect picture quality, but also in full 7.1 surround sound—and, of course, as DCP.

As a long-standing partner and fan of the film festival, we are thrilled to be able to produce the official festival trailer again this year - this time in close collaboration with our creative partner ECHO ROOMS.
