Screening Conditions: Frankenstein

Are you interested in seeing cinema through a psychoanalytic lens?

At the end of the 19th century, cinema and psychoanalysis revolutionised ways of seeing the self. They both continue to challenge concepts of the human psyche.

Screening Conditions invites the public to take part in a stimulating conversation between psychoanalysis and cinema.

James Whale's 1930s adaptation of Shelley's novel intelligently explores the world of the obsessive scientist and his monster alter-ego. The film will be introduced by psychoanalyst Andrea Sabbadini and followed by a discussion with guest speaker psychoanalyst Donald Campbell.

This event is part of the Screening Conditions series 'Horror: The Dark Side of the Unconscious', a selection of chilling but intelligent films raising fascinating questions about the appeal of horror movies and concepts of spectatorship and transformation.
