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.

Drama, 2024, 98 min

Keep exploring

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.


Cyberlemon

Hynek Martinec's solo show draws together an extraordinary range of references to meditate upon the present state of human consciousness. He responds to an accelerated and increasingly polarized world where art, technology, and social changes meet in unexpected and often paradoxical ways.


Metaphysics and Despair

An exhibition of Viktor Pivovarov's latest works, in which the artist shows with insight and humour the anguish through which works of art are often born and what happens when greed, hatred and anger take over.


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.


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.


Pavel Jasanský: Artists and Autographs

Exhibition of a selection of photographs by photographer and graphic designer Pavel Jasanský depicting a number of Czech artists. The exhibition takes place at the Archive of Fine Arts.


Glass Without Borders

The travelling exhibition of the Glass Without Borders glass symposium will present the works of thirteen artists and designers from all over the world who participated in the e-Glass Festival 2024 art glass and design symposium in Szklarska Poręba last year.


If I lived in Prague, I would be fan of Bohemka

The exhibition of Ivan Krajíček Brotschnitte, who works with playfulness, irony, the principle of ready-made and recycling found materials.


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.



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.



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.



PLI

Viktor Černický's solo production at the intersection of dance, physical theatre, and the visual arts which delivers a visually compelling study of balance, endurance, and creativity.
