A psychological film based on Marlen Haushofer's book The Wall from 1963, directed by Julian Pölsler.

A nameless woman sets out to visit her cousin and her husband at a cottage in a forest somewhere in the Austrian Alps. Shortly after her arrival, they leave to drive to a nearby village to take care of something, leaving her alone. Tired, she falls asleep on the couch, only to wake up in the middle of the night and find out they have yet to returne. She goes off to look for them and gradually finds out that the cottage and its vicinity are cut off from the outside world by an invisible wall, past which it seems all life has stopped.


The Wall by Marlen Haushofer has been a cult phenomenon in Austria since it was written, and has been translated into several dozen languages. In 2019 it was
finally also translated to Czech.

More than being a mysterious drama the film examines the mind and soul of a woman whose everyday struggle to survive comes to life on the pages of her diary.

This quiet, meditative drama reminds us that we are part of the natural world, which is stronger that we are, and has thus become a certain ecological call to arms for several generations.

Original: Marlen Haushofer, Die Wand, 1963
English: Marlen Haushofer, The Wall.

Movie version:
Germany, Austria, 2011, 108 minutes
Director: Julian Roman Pölsler
psychological drama

Disappearing Man

A reflection, through music and dance, on the constant need for stimulation and escape and the simultaneous search for the present moment. An intimate double bill of dancer Andrej Štěpita and musician Štěpán Janoušek presents an original solo project by two distinctive members of Farm in the Cave theatre ensemble.




Absence of Malice

Does the presumption of innocence hold true in America? Michael Gallagher, the main character in the film Absence of Malice, finds this out the hard way when a fabricated newspaper article accuses him of a crime. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.


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.





PLI

The last performance of 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.



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.



Liberté [trigger warning]

A production by Georgian theater director Data Tavadze exploring the power of language, how shame becomes a tool of control, and how propaganda contaminates the collective consciousness. It is part of the Prague Crossroads Festival.



Current 93

An extraordinary double concert by the legendary project Current 93, held on the occasion of David Tibet’s solo exhibition. Current 93 has for decades created a unique space at the intersection of apocalyptic nursery – rhymes, poetry, mysticism, dreams, and sonic playgrounds.


Antidote

Raising voice against the propaganda disrupting the world. Dakh Daughters does not stand silent in the face of the current threats, but raises a vibrant voice. They offer their music, poetry, and theatre as an antidote to all willing to listen with their hearts and resist the lies intended to distort reality. It is part of the Prague Crossroads Festival.


Israel a Mohamed

Exceptionally sensitive production showing that in mutual relations, differences can be just as important as common traits. Together, under the spellbound gaze of their fathers, they seek a common language based on the body, its wounds and its scars. It is part of the Prague Crossroads Festival.



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.



Is this the end?
No, it's the beginning.
