Kafka goes to the cinema

Much of Kafka's novels and stories suggest that Kafka felt inspired by the new medium film. It inspired him to try out similar narrative forms in his literature.
We owe such findings to Hanns Zischler, which films, scenes and actors had an effect on Franz Kafka. Kafka connoisseur Dr. Tran Ngoc Hieu introduces into this interesting aspect of Kafka’s writing and will give some film examples.
 
Hanns Zischler (* 1947) is a German film actor, dramaturge, director, radio play speaker, photographer, translator and essayist.
Dr. Tran Ngoc Hieu (* 1979) has been teaching at the Hanoi National University of Education since 2001. His research interests include literary theories, contemporary art and Vietnamese literature.
