In Jersey City, an African American hit man follows "Hagakure: The Way of the Samurai." He lives alone, in simplicity with homing pigeons for company, calling himself Ghost Dog. His master, who saved his life eight years ago, is part of the local mob. When the boss' daughter witnesses one of Ghost Dog's hits, he becomes expendable. The first victims are his birds, and in response, Ghost Dog goes right at his attackers but does not want to harm his master or the young woman. On occasion, he talks with his best friend, a French-speaking Haitian who sells ice cream in the park, and with a child with whom he discusses books. Can he stay true to his code? And if he does, what is his fate?

The Wizard of Oz

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+.


Commander

The unique production combines a physical theatre performance with live music and a film starring child actors of Farm in the Cave studio to communicate an urgent, yet widely overlooked, topic – the online radicalisation of youth.

Thin Skin

A performance by established circus acrobat Eliška Brtnická and her hypnotic production Thin Skin at the interface of movement installation and contemporary circus in the spaces of the DOX Centre.



Refuge

They're on their way. Out of fear. No guarantees. Three people cross paths on the run. Bound to each other, they traverse territories of anxiety, courage, failure and compassion. They seek refuge in a world that doesn't care for them.



Is this the end?
No, it's the beginning.
