Kafka Goes to the Movies

The documentary features German actor Hanns Zischler, who delves into Kafka's journals to uncover the Czech writer's reflections on film. Over twenty-five years, Zischler explored archives and libraries to find many of the now-extinct films that Kafka mentioned in his writings.

Kafka Goes to the Movies presents a unique perspective on the influence of cinema on Kafka's life and work. It combines Zischler's insights with a witty examination of Kafka's fascination with film, creating a thoughtful reflection on the relationship between the two art forms.
