DOX and the Ponrepo Cinema invite you to a series of summer movie nights under the stars and in the universe of David Lynch with 8½.
The screening will be introduced by Tomáš Hubáček, a film historian and critic from the National Film Archive.
“It’s a real shame that most films are so undemanding. Compare that to 8 ½. The first time I saw that film, it was something of a revelation. Everything else was just a movie, but this was a film! Nowadays, a lot of directors are content with just entertaining the audience. That’s really saying something. But ideally, films should be as effective as 8 ½. That is, they should have the ability to evoke a whole new experience for the audience. And that experience should be enjoyable. Whoever can do that is a true master of the screen.” – David Lynch
David Lynch was a great admirer of Fellini, and certainly not just because they shared the same birthday – 20 January. Lynch’s respect culminated in a personal meeting with Fellini, after which he said in an interview: “I feel very close to him, even though he’s very Italian.” How else could Lynch, himself very American (especially with his Boy Scout English), react to meeting a counterpart whose films have become universally comprehensible around the world thanks to their creator’s distinctive signature and flair for sudden mood shifts, from wistfulness to dreamlike poetry to sudden, almost slapstick comedy.

DOX Summer Cinema – David Lynch Season
DOX and the Ponrepo Cinema invite you to a series of summer movie nights under the stars and in the unfathomable, mysterious, and deeply captivating universe of David Lynch. High-quality headphone sound, views of the Gulliver Airship, and refreshing summer drinks and nine screenings.
Sunset Boulevard
A fraught tale of artistic ego is set in the now forgotten but mythical world of Hollywood studios, which never ceased to fascinate David Lynch. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Lost Highway – SOLD OUT
David Lynch's dreamlike work mixes an abstract plane with references to the most idiosyncratic noir films. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
8½
An award-winning existential comedy drama by the much admired Italian director Federico Fellini. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
A feature-length theatrical film dedicated to the seemingly familiar story of the fallen angel from Twin Peaks. In this revolutionary prequel for its time, Lynch follows the ill-fated diva on a cocaine-fuelled ride through hell. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Lolita
A cinematic treatment of Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel, in which the obsessive roots of David Lynch's paternal yet infantile incestuous parental figures are confronted with absurdly comic and terrifyingly demonic messengers of absolute evil. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Blue Velvet
The dark film, which smacks of sex, drugs, and ’60s suburbia, is at times a coming-of-age flick, at times a noir whodunit, and for the most part an undeniably and unexpectedly violent thriller. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Persona
From Ibsen, Pirandello and Vertov to Bergman's contemporaries and everything we affectionately refer to as ‘Lynchian’, films full of doubles, repressed sexual tension and the schizophrenic nature of the acting profession. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
