Film: The Way of the Dream
June 23, 1985 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm PDT
West Coast Premiere of a series of 20 half-hour films, presented in cooperation with the C.G. Jung Society of Seattle and the Centerpoint Foundation.
The Way of the Dream is an extraordinary series of films made by Fraser Boa, who collected first-person accounts of dreams in street interviews with ordinary men and women in various parts of the world. He then asked the eminent psychoanalyst Marie-Louise von Franz to interpret these dreams on film, just as she would in a private analytical session. The resulting series is a primer explaining and demonstrating the art and science of dream analysis for the general public.
