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.

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.
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.
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.

Jiří Petrbok: Patient Diary
Jiří Petrbok’s exhibition Patient Diary focuses on the theme of self-portraiture, presenting the artist’s work from the 1990s up to the present as an unbroken record of a changing, constantly questioned “self”.
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.
Point of View 4: Resilience
The fourth instalment of the long-term project Point of View once again presents an exhibition and a classroom in one. The artistic approaches here open up a space to slow down and pay attention – a space for shared experience. They allow us to linger with uncertainty, to think and feel at the same time, and to seek strength in fragility.
Thin Skin
