Young Dr. Freud (110 min; dvd; English) 

Director: David Grubin

 

Young Dr. Freud retraces the early life of Sigmund Freud, from his birth in 1856 to the publication of his landmark book the Interpretation of Dreams in 1900. With Freud’s own words, vivid recreations, and the commentary of psychoanalysts and scholars, this two-part special examines how Freud created the revolutionary theories that have become part of the fabric of 20th century life and thought-shaping our notions of identity, memory, childhood and sexuality

Directed by Nirmal Chander who will introduce the film

 

Weaving between past and present, performances and daily routine, the film focuses on the life and struggle of Shashadhar Acharya, the fifth generation of a family of traditional Chhau dancers of Seraikella. Masks are an integral part of Chhau, leading the performer through a series of meditative experiences, and allowing the dancer to become one with the character. How does Shashadhar relate to the tradition he was born into? What meaning does it have for him at this stage in his life?

 

Screening will be followed by a discussion with Shashadhar Acharya and Nirmal Chander
