Registration mandatory: kindly register below.
Tricky Women/Tricky Realities and the Sigmund Freud Museum invite you to two screenings on April 10 and May 8 dedicated to animated film and psychoanalysis.
In 2025, the Sigmund Freud Museum's program will focus on the annual theme of “Being Human”. Telling stories has always been a human ability and need. Where language reaches its limits, animation art has the potential to explore interdependencies between inner world and external perception and to uncover unconscious processes inheriting narrative structures.
The selected visual worlds deal with psychological dynamics, memories, longings and fears in a world of multiple crises that shake our “humanity” and the values associated with it. Each evening will present one or two short films, followed by a discussion with experts in psychoanalysis and film studies together with the audience.
