"100 years after the death of Franz Kafka comes this vividly original and critically acclaimed six-part series delving into the enigmatic life of arguably the greatest and most famous writer of the twentieth century, told from the perspective of those who knew him best.
At the heart of the series are Kafka’s love affairs with Felice Bauer, Milena Jesenska, and Dora Diamant, his difficult relationship with his tyrannical father, and his close friendship with Max Brod, who would ultimately come to betray his terminally ill friend, assuring his enduring fame in the process.
Hailed for its depth as well as offbeat tone, as adapted from Reiner Stach’s exhaustive three-volume biography of Kafka, the series finely weaves together the Jewish writer’s work and life, finding the connections and gaps between the two.
*JIFF presents the Australian Premiere of all six episodes of* Kafka *across two parts. Part 1 includes episodes 1-3. Watch the two parts back-to-back or on different days. Tickets are sold separately."*

The film starts at 11.30 am on Sunday 17 November, so we'll meet 20 minutes before the film, at the bottom of the stairs to cinema 6 in the front foyer. It is advisable to buy tickets online or at least book early by phone! Feel free to attend only the discussion after the film if you have seen it at a different time. Please cancel your RSVP if you find you can't attend. Looking forward to meeting up again with the regulars, and of course, any newbies are most welcome!

For those who don't sit through the credits, we usually assemble afterwards in the cafe at one of the big tables. If you can grab the one in the (quieter) side room that would be great!
