C. G. Jung Society of Sarasota Film Salons

In film we find a special window to the unconscious as filmmakers seek to explore the depths of the psyche beyond ordinary consciousness. Working from Jungian Psychology, we can uncover the archetypes, images and myths that underpin all great art.

We will explore this theme as it is taken up in contemporary films. An ongoing Jungian commentary and discussion will be led by Earl Mackey as the film is screened.

Winner of numerous movie awards, this film centers on a lonely young girl living in rural Spain during a fascist regime. Her dreams and fantasies introduce us to a "haunting fairy tale" and remarkable archetypal images.
