From his boyhood in Prague to his final days in Vienna, award-winning director Agnieszka Holland brings Franz Kafka to life in a richly imagined portrait. Torn between a longing for an ordinary existence and a compulsive need to write, Kafka navigates fraught love affairs and inner torment. Moving fluidly between past and present, the film offers a haunting, intimate exploration of one of the 20th century’s most influential literary minds.

Preview screening followed by a Q&A with the film’s director, Agnieszka Holland.
