Caravan: Hit the Road

Just like caravans, setting out on journeys to foreign lands to find unknown treasures and knowledge, the cycle Caravan crosses borders of the familiar and brings the beauty of the Middle East into a cinema in the heart of Prague. With the help of films focusing on the Middle East (made in the region itself our outside of it), popularizing introductions and discussions with special guests, we will touch on both pleasant and controversial subjects, widespread myths and unconventional views on Europe's closet neighbor region.

This discussion cycle was established as the initiative of the Majles student association in cooperation with the Department of Middle Eastern Studies of the Faculty of Arts at Charles University.

Hit the Road / Panah Panahi / Iran 2021 / 93 min. – Follows a chaotic, tender family that is on a road trip across a rugged landscape and fussing over the sick dog and getting on each others' nerves. Only the mysterious older brother is quiet.
