LITERATURE + LECTURES

The Jung Center of Houston presents Psyche's Cinema: Dreams, Myths, and Monsters in Early Silent Film, with Tiffany Baugher, PhD, Wednesdays, 7:30 - 9 pm, Sept 15 - Oct 27 (no class Sept 29).

Encounter the Faustian bargains, dangerous dopplegangers, and fantastic atmospheres of Germany's golden silent film era. A fascinating, seminal, and very brief period in film history, German Expressionism was tremendously psychological in character, inspired by dreams, the subconscious and powerful symbols.

The imagery, ambience and themes of Expressionism would live on to inspire such great directors as Wells and Bergman, as well as film noir. We will view film clips and discuss The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, (pictured) Metropolis, Waxworks, and other films. A reader will be available in the bookstore.

Tiffany Baugher, PhD, is a depth psychologist practicing in the Houston area. She holds degrees in Counseling and Clinical Psychology with emphasis in Depth Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.
