Dialogue
Film

English / With German surtitles / approx. 120 mins.

“Kafka for Kids” is a subversive musical comedy told according to the narrative of Franz Kafka's “The Metamorphosis”. This award-winning work by Israeli filmmaker Roee Rosen examines childhood as a permanent process of formation with many influences. Rosen uses his own drawings, animation, a live band and a great acting performance by Hani Furstenberg, a former child actress. In the subsequent talk, Rosen will discuss topics such as the political and artistic border transgressions that “Kafka for Kids” deals with. The film is shown to accompany the exhibition “Guilty, guilty, guilty!” (curated by Sonja Lau), which can be seen at Kunstraum Kreuzberg / Bethanien until 19 February.
