DOX and the Ponrepo Cinema invite you to a series of summer movie nights under the stars and in the universe of David Lynch with The Wizard of Oz.
The screening will be introduced by film critic Štěpánka Zapata and David Havas, the curator of DOX Summer Cinema – David Lynch Season.
“Not only in Wild at Heart but also in Blue Velvet there are a lot of allusions to The Wizard of Oz – the name Dorothy, the red shoes [...]. It’s a wonderfully powerful film, and I assume that Martin Scorsese (Alice Doesn’t Live Here Anymore) and John Boorman (Zardoz) saw it as children and were strongly influenced by it. And it’s only natural that we carried it around in us for years, only to have it emerge much later as an echo in our own films. That film is like a dream; it has enormous emotional power.” – David Lynch
When a tornado strikes a farm in Kansas, a young girl and her beloved dog Toto find themselves in the magically colourful land of Oz, where they embark on a quest to find a wizard who can send them back home. This classic family movie has gained a reputation over the years as a multilayered cult film. The Wizard of Oz contains all the motifs that are the hallmarks of David Lynch’s work, including the dreamlike logic of the narrative, the presence of supernatural beings as key drivers of the plot, the exploration of new alternate dimensions with different “rules of the game”, and moving musical interludes. Moreover, the surreal adventure of Dorothy and her bizarre friends can be interpreted as an initiation ritual dividing the characters’ lives into before and after – something after which they will never be the same. Just like with Lynch...

DOX Summer Cinema – David Lynch Season
DOX and the Ponrepo Cinema invite you to a series of summer movie nights under the stars and in the unfathomable, mysterious, and deeply captivating universe of David Lynch. High-quality headphone sound, views of the Gulliver Airship, and refreshing summer drinks and nine screenings.
Sunset Boulevard
A fraught tale of artistic ego is set in the now forgotten but mythical world of Hollywood studios, which never ceased to fascinate David Lynch. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Lost Highway – SOLD OUT
David Lynch's dreamlike work mixes an abstract plane with references to the most idiosyncratic noir films. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
8½
An award-winning existential comedy drama by the much admired Italian director Federico Fellini. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
A feature-length theatrical film dedicated to the seemingly familiar story of the fallen angel from Twin Peaks. In this revolutionary prequel for its time, Lynch follows the ill-fated diva on a cocaine-fuelled ride through hell. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Lolita
A cinematic treatment of Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel, in which the obsessive roots of David Lynch's paternal yet infantile incestuous parental figures are confronted with absurdly comic and terrifyingly demonic messengers of absolute evil. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Blue Velvet
The dark film, which smacks of sex, drugs, and ’60s suburbia, is at times a coming-of-age flick, at times a noir whodunit, and for the most part an undeniably and unexpectedly violent thriller. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Persona
From Ibsen, Pirandello and Vertov to Bergman's contemporaries and everything we affectionately refer to as ‘Lynchian’, films full of doubles, repressed sexual tension and the schizophrenic nature of the acting profession. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
