Join the Library for a “Made at the Library” film screening of “Outsider. Freud” (2025) and conversation with filmmaker Yair Qedar. Qedar takes the viewer on a journey into the life and work of Sigmund Freud, set in four acts and combining animation, dreams, and insights from leading psychoanalysts incorporating the Library’s Sigmund Freud Papers and other collections. The film explores Freud’s experiences of marginalization as a Jew in Vienna during Hitler’s rise and how it 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.
Doors open at 3:30 p.m.
