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
Directed by: Mani Haghighi

Keep exploring
Melancholy of the Outer Limits
The exhibition Melancholy of the Outer Limits presents, for the first time in its entirety, an extensive body of paintings created over the last ten years. Filled with faceless people lost in the ruins of cities, these paintings are a mirror of the artist's own soul.
Point of View: Identity
Another instalment of the long-term project, which combines the format of an exhibition and a classroom and focuses on the theme of human identity. Who am I? What am I? The human form naturally takes centre stage; the body, its clothing, its behaviour. A person's identity and the different ways of looking at it.
Deus Artis
Artists through the eyes of an artist. An exhibition of photographic works by Jaroslav Brabec, capturing a number of prominent personalities of fine art and photography, their authenticity and unrepeatable glimpses of moments.
MILKOV
The largest solo exhibition of sculptor Stefan Milkov to date, presenting a selection of works created between 1989 and 2024.
Al Weat 812: Kunkava intervenes!
Under the nickname Al Weat 812 hides the occasional artist and leader of the family publishing house Kunkava. Her work is exhibited in the Fine Art Archive.
Music is: Les Percussions de Strasbourg

ART*VR: Festival of Virtual Reality and Immersive Art
The second edition of the ART*VR festival will bring thirty virtual reality experiences and the opportunity to meet authors over six days. This year's theme for the largest event of its kind in Central and Eastern Europe will be Beyond the Glass Ceiling - exploring the position of women in the virtual reality sphere.
ART*VR: Beyond the Glass Ceiling
A VR installation complementing the ART*VR Virtual Reality and Immersive Art festival, this curatorial selection explores the position of women in the VR world using the metaphor of the glass ceiling, which usually refers to an impenetrable barrier that prevents women from gaining decision-making power.
Ondřej Pivec & Kennedy Administration
In the DOX+, SOČR will present a concert by Czech jazz musician Ondřej Pivec, who is one of the few to have succeeded in establishing himself on the American music scene, together with American vocalist Kennedy.
Czech Hero
Satirical physical theater production Czech Hero by the theatre ensemble Farm in the Cave, which focuses on the contemporary and pressing topic of disinformation and political marketing. Movement, words, live music, dynamics, energy, exaggeration. All this in the DOX+ hall.
Essential Sciarrino+
The Ostrava New Music Centre returns to the DOX+ hall with another contribution to the Essential concerts series. This year's edition will focus on the exceptional work of the Italian avant-gardist, composer of uncompromising and fragile music Salvatore Sciarrino.
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.
