Grab some popcorn and discover how film and psychology go together like Mike and Ike!
Description
It's back! Grab some popcorn and discover how film and psychology go together like Mike and Ike. It is no accident that the movies came of age alongside the discipline of psychology. Both examined the human experience in new and innovative ways, inventing vocabularies and techniques that continue to shape our culture and our very perceptions of ourselves. We will watch portions of four movies in class and explore how psychology can inform our film watching, and how the art of film can teach us about human nature.
This semester's movie selections are:
- Asteroid City, Wes Anderson (director & writer) | April 9
- Barbie, Greta Gerwig (director), Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach (writers) | co-presented with Jacinda Tucker | April 16
- Tár, Todd Field (director & writer) | co-presented with Michael Craig | April 23
- Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan (director & writer) | April 30
Please watch these films in advance of each week's session, as we will not be providing film screening sessions this semester.
This program is being offered IN-PERSON, and will NOT be recorded.
All times are CT. Please contact onlinelearning@junghouston.org with any questions.
Please register early. Programs with four or fewer participants are subject to cancellation, 48 hours prior to their start.
*The Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council (TBHEC) has stopped pre-certifying ANY Continuing Education or Professional Development for mental health providers. The Jung Center cannot guarantee that the programs we provide will qualify for continuing education or Professional Development, nor can any other agency. The Jung Center uses high educational standards when selecting to designate events as "potentially appropriate for CEs", and in evaluating the outcomes of our educational services, and we believe them to meet the requirements of state licensing bodies.
