On 13 Friday February, at 6:00 pm the Psychoanalytic Institut for Social Research – IPRS Ets, and the Elvio Fachinelli Advanced Studies in Psychoanalysis – ISAP, are pleased to present a special screening of “Outsider. Freud” , a documentary by Yair Qedar dedicated to the life and intellectual legacy of Sigmund Freud.
Conceived as a dialogue between cinema and psychoanalysis, this event offers an opportunity to reflect on Freud not only as the founder of psychoanalysis, but as a cultural figure shaped by exile, identity and intellectual marginality. Through archival materials, animation and contemporary perspectives, the film presents a powerful portrait of Freud as an “outsider” whose thought continues to shape modern culture.
