About the film: Outsider. Freud (2025) dir. Yair Qedar

Length: 66 min

A journey into the life and work of Sigmund Freud in four acts, combining animation, dreams, and insights from leading psychoanalysts. It explores Freud’s experiences of marginalization as a Jew in Vienna during Hitler’s rise and how these shaped his theories and personal life. Through an intimate lens, the film reveals new dimensions of Freud’s legacy, focusing on his impact on psychoanalysis, Judaism, and the power dynamics of being an outsider.

"Mike Benn and team are organised and the events they host are interesting and valuable."

" Loray Daws concluding reflection that Dr. Eshel teaches us “being awake with darkness—the hopeful shiva for dead and deadened parts of us” is such a pitch perfect conclusion to the memorial lecture, following on Ofra’s commentary bringing out the movement from Winnicott’s hope to Bion’s Faith…. Thank you all for creating this occasion for being and learning together."
