In this session we will identify psychoanalytic themes contained in films directed by women, placing a special focus on the feminine experience portrayed in stories told by women. There will be an opportunity to collectively discuss the ways in which cinema can evolve in order to more authentically depict female desire, fears and subjectivity.

The following films will be discussed (advance viewing is optional):

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014) Ana Lily Amirpour

Risk (2016) dir. Laura Poitras

Romance (1999) Catherine Breillat

Augustine (2012) Alice Winocour

Lost in Translation (2003) Sofia Coppola

The Wolfpack (2015) Crystal Moselle
