 Archetypal Cinema: Hillman and Film

November 9, 2013 @ 10:00 am - 7:30 pm PST

workshop:

Jungian Film Studies is now a major field of inquiry, demonstrating how archetypal patterns, symbolism and the individuation process are present to screen stories. The work of James Hillman extends these understandings by ushering us into a deeper sense of visual metaphor, which becomes the portal into the imagination.
Through the use of film clips, lecture and discussion we will explore the way cinema transports us into the deeper psyche. Indeed, many films are underworld initiations, connecting our personal lives with mythic themes at work in the collective psyche.
