The Freud Museum presents Thinking Inside the Box: Freud On TV, a series of ultra-rare archival television screenings, which brings together an exciting
and compelling combination of Freudian drama and psychoanalytic theory from the annals of terrestrial television history.
This first event is a screening of The Vision and the Dream, a provocative drama depicting an imaginary conversation between Freud and St. Paul, which has remained unscreened since its original broadcast in 1962.
The screening will be introduced by Donald Reeves, and will be followed by an audience Q&A.
Thinking Inside the Box: Freud On TV continues on October 29 with The Rat Man; an extraordinary 1972 adaptation of Freud’s case-study of ‘The Rat Man’, starring Edward Fox as the obsessive-neurotic patient in analysis with Freud, which was originally screened as part of BBC2’s Horizon series. The series concludes on December 4 with Sigmund Freud’s Dora, the milestone controversial 1979 film combining formalism, feminism and psychoanalysis.
Donald Reeves is a cult figure in religious and political circles. Once described by Margaret Thatcher as “a very dangerous man” he is a man of action and vision who lives out his religious belief through political activity and struggle. After a conventional middle-class upbringing, Reeves felt pushed by God to be ordained. Following an apprenticeship at Maidstone, where he was already a controversial figure, Reeves became Chaplain to the notorious Anglican bishop Mervyn Stockwood and was thus trained in an atmosphere of socialist politics with a tinge of sexual ambiguity. Reeves’ heyday was as Rector of St James`s Church in Piccadilly, a space he filled with extraordinary worship, celebrated pulpit dialogues, a coffee house and a street market, and through which there was an endless march of gurus, leading international film-makers, writers, theologians and politicians. Today he devotes himself to working for peace in the Balkans, for which he was award an MBE in 2006.
Thinking Inside the Box: Freud On TV is curated by Charlie Bligh, Colm McAuliffe and Dany Nobus.
