Peer Cinema Series Presents: Melancholia - 21st April - 4.30pm-7pm G.12 SODA Building
This event comprises a screening of a selection of films that will be interesting to explore through an academic lens.
Each film in the series includes an introduction by a member of Manchester Met staff from the Psychology and Humanities/ Film Studies courses.
The last term-time screening for the Peer Cinema Series will be a film from the ever controversial Lars Von Trier, the dark psychological thriller, ‘Melancholia’ (IMDB: Melancholia (2011) – IMDb).
The film will be introduced by Ayelen Hamity and Cristian Iturriaga from the School of Psychology, and will feature themes of the unconscious and the sublime, referencing the work of Sigmund Freud and developmental and cultural psychologist, Jaan Valsiner. The event should end no later than 7pm.
Post-film discussion amongst staff and students will as always, be encouraged to help to digest the themes of the film!
