Rendering Unconscious Podcast: Psychoanalysis & Culture

Today’s guest is Mary Wild, Freudian Cinephile and host of the Projections series held at the Freud Museum, London, as well as co-host of Projections Podcast with Sarah Cleaver. PROJECTIONS is psychoanalysis for film interpretation. PROJECTIONS empowers film spectators to express subjective associations they consider to be meaningful. Expertise in psychoanalytic theory is not necessary – the only prerequisite is the desire to enter and inhabit the imaginary world of film, which is itself a psychoanalytic act. MARY WILD, a Freudian cinephile from Montreal, is the creator of PROJECTIONS. Upcoming course on The Joker to be live-streamed online April 18 via the Freud Museum, London: https://www.freud.org.uk/event/projections-psychoanalytic-investigation-of-the-joker/# Support the podcast at Patreon: www.patreon.com/vanessa23carl Rendering Unconscious Podcast is hosted by psychoanalyst Dr. Vanessa Sinclair who interviews psychoanalysts, psychologists, scholars, creative arts therapists, writers, poets, philosophers, artists & other intellectuals about their process, world events, the current state of mental health care, politics, culture, the arts & more.
