SCREENING IS CANCELLED DUE TO RAINY WEATHER.
In collaboration with Edison Filmhub, we bring you a screening of Pig as part of the DOX Summer Cinema
Iranian film directors are being brutally slaughtered, one after another, by an unknown serial killer. Yet Hasan Kasmai, who, like Jafar Panahi and others, is on a blacklist of the Islamist government, remains unscathed. Why is he, one of the country’s finest film-makers, being ignored by the mysterious assassin? The ambitious, slightly hysterical, frustrated and failing Hasan decides to follow the bloody trail. His life turns into a delirious trip, replete with nonsense, hilarious jinks and errors. Mani Haghighi’s Pig is haywire, autobiographical account of a society living in constant fear, presented with a cynical grin. His feature is a brassy political allegory, a boorish zany comedy, and a crooked guitar solo in the dungeon of an authoritarian regime.

Iran, 2018, 104 min
Language: FA, TR, EN

HIT BY NEWS
HIT BY NEWS takes a lucid and critical look at the fascinating topic of a society that was, is, and will continue to be shaped by the media. It presents a selection from the collection of Annette and Peter Nobel.
Joel-Peter Witkin: Broken World
An exhibition presenting photographs and drawings by Joel-Peter Witkin from 2010-2025. The exhibited works, by one of the most influential authors who brought photography to the forefront of the visual arts, show why his work continues to shape the way we think about the body, memory, and the meaning of images.
Point of View 3: Balance
The third instalment of a long-term project seeks a balance between the organic and technical worlds. The work of Czech and foreign artists reveals the various connections between nature and technology - two seemingly disparate environments to which we intrinsically belong today, even though we perceive a certain tension between them.
Patrik Illo: Something Is Not Nothing
The exhibition Something Is Not Nothing presents Patrik Illo, one of the most prominent figures in contemporary Slovak glass art. The title of the exhibition refers to the intensity, concentration, and paradox inherent in Illo's work.
Veronika Zýková: Foolidiot
Veronika Zýková created several works for the Polička/Shelf gallery space at the Archive of Fine Arts at DOX, transferring her usually large-format abstractions onto the surface of children's picture books.

Opening: GA-I-SU-RA
Grand opening of the GA-I-SU-RA exhibition dedicated to the life’s work of Czech Japanologist, translator, journalist, calligrapher, photographer, and educator Petr Geisler.
GA-I-SU-RA
A homage to Petr Geisler and his work, GA-I-SU-RA also pays tribute to calligraphy as a form of inner expression, reminding us that writing and beautiful script have always been a natural reflection of (not only) a pure soul. From his expressive calligraphy through multiple-exposure photography from 1980s Japan to his monumental inscription of the Buddhist Heart Sutra.
MOMI: Vintage & Antique Kimono Show
The showcase of kimonos from the collection of MOMI, which focuses on traditional Japanese clothing, will be led by Kumie Holý, a professional stylist who specialises in Japanese kimonos and makeup for art and film. The showcase will be followed by a workshop that will offer practical advice about wearing kimonos as everyday clothing.
Kwaidan: Hōichi the Earless
Screening of part of the film Kwaidan (1964, directed by Masaki Kobayashi), one of the best and most visually impressive Japanese classic horror films. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Petr Holý and Aňa and Ester Geisler.
Alžběta Tichá: Frekvence
Frequency explores the complex relationship between body, mind, and technology. What happens when we feel nothing at all? And what happens when we go through extreme physical and emotional roller coasters? Alžběta Tichá creates an intimate and dynamic picture of human perception and emotions.
