A surprisingly “un-Kafkaesque” film portrait of Franz Kafka’s last romance

Because of the power of love, the last year of Franz Kafka's life becomes his happiest. Never before has he allowed himself to experience intimacy in the same way as now that he suffers from tuberculosis and is more than ever dependent on his overbearing family. The worldly-wise Dora Diamant accepts him as he is. And he accepts her. The two meet in 1923 on the Baltic Sea coast, where he is convalescing and she is working in a Jewish Volksheim. Together they go to Berlin and, when Franz's health deteriorates rapidly, to a sanatorium in Austria. Barely a year after they meet, he dies. The memory of their time together will shape Dora for the rest of her life.

Based on Michael Kumpfmüller’s novel, the film will have its Czech premiere at the FALL festival in collaboration with Edison Filmhub. Screened in German with Czech subtitles.

MILKOV

The largest solo exhibition of sculptor Stefan Milkov to date, presenting a selection of works created between 1989 and 2024.


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.


Orhan Pamuk: The Consolation of Objects

The exhibition Consolation of Objects for the first time offers insight into visual, conceptual, and photographic work of Turkish writer and Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk.


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.


David Lynch: Up in Flames

The exhibition of the American artist David Lynch will present the artistic work of this icon of world cinema for the first time in the Czech Republic.


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.



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.



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.
