a retrospective on psychoanalysis and cinema

A unique opportunity to look at ourselves in the mirror, mingling the cinema with psychoanalysis in an unprecedented and extremely stimulating project based on the screening of films devoted to the crucial themes of our earthly existence, followed by hands-on analysis in the course of a debate between directors and psychoanalysts. Many are the films that have deeply moved us and allowed us to discover hidden parts of our mind, revealing what we are and, above all, what we would like to be, as though in a daydream. The cinema, a laboratory of dreams and emotions, shares the same sphere of research as psychoanalysis: man, his thoughts and his behaviour, and above all, the motivations that drive him. The cinema and psychoanalysis, in their respective environments, both analyse daily life in an effort to unveil the secrets of human nature. This retrospective offers a selection of films whose extraordinary sensitivity penetrates beneath the surface of our daily difficulties, and aims, through debates involving psychoanalists, directors, critics and the audience itself, to explore various aspects of each individual's reality as people find themselves having to cope with such concrete issues as money and power, intermingled with more personal and deeper issues such as personal relationships, religion or guilt feelings. The encounters are introduced by Fabio Castriota, President of the Rome Psychoanalitical Centre, and by Enrico Magrelli, Conservator of the National Cinethèque - Centre for Experimental Cinematography.
