Film and the Psycho-Cultural:
Objects, Relatedness, Process
A Symposium
11am – 6pm, Saturday 31st May
Freud Museum, London
Drinks Reception: 6.15pm
This symposium sets out to explore the ways in which film and film-work play an important part in creating new spaces for engagement with emotional experience. Cinema has long been held up as a form of ‘dream-screen’ environment, allowing for the playing out of fantasy in relation to desire and forms of identity. However, film also sometimes serves as an object of the mind, an object to be used or taken in, in order better to navigate the complex terrain of feeling that cinema can evoke for us. In this way, films allow us to question patterns of relatedness in the world and to reflect on the importance of thinking about process as a way of understanding the realities of emotional life.
As with other projects in the Media and the Inner World network, this event is informed by object relations psychoanalysis and invites psychoanalysts and psychotherapists into dialogue with academics and media creatives.
