We are introducing a unique summer project that unites DOX and Edison Filmhub. Together, we have prepared a summer cinema for you in an extraordinary location – on the roof of DOX+ overlooking the Gulliver airship, with a selection of 9 screenings on a large outdoor screen, great sound with wireless headphones, refreshing summer drinks, and an unforgettable atmosphere. In this year’s carefully selected artistic programme, contemporary art cinema and the worlds of the artists themselves converge. From Caravaggio to Jean-Luc Godard, from the Louvre Museum in Paris to Iran’s stifling authoritarianism, from fine art to burlesque. We are looking forward to seeing all lovers of film and art. We are looking forward to seeing you.

The Wizard of Oz – SOLD OUT

Blue Velvet – SOLD OUT
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+.
