Co-Sponsored by Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic
As part of the Three Rivers Film Festival, join the Pittsburgh Psychoanalytic Center, in partnership with The Film and Digital Technology program at Chatham University, Filmmakers, and Keeping the Work Alive for a viewing and discussion of Incendies.
The program includes a showing of the film, followed by discussion with Michelle Citron, film, video and multimedia artist, scholar and author and Maurice Apprey, Ph.D., DM, FIPA, Professor of Psychiatry and Dean of African American Affairs at the University of Virginia, Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst, Contemporary Freudian Society and the International Psychoanalytic Association.
Michelle Citron, Ph.D. will offer her viewpoint as an accomplished and acclaimed filmmaker. Her discussion will focus on themes such as repetition, bodies, space versus time, images and metaphors, and circularity. She will specifically focus on the way the aesthetics of the film fully reinforce the theme.
Maurice Apprey, Ph.D. will offer his expertise from a psychoanalytic angle. He will present points from his paper, "A Pluperfect Errand: A Turbulent Return To Beginnings in the Transgenerational Transmission of Destructive Aggression." He considers the way the characters feel obligated to carry out an "errand", the urgency they feel, and the way in which action moves from mandate to voluntary.
Film Synopsis
When notary Lebel (Rémy Girard) sits down with Jeanne and Simon Marwan (Mélissa Désormeaux Poulin, Maxim Gaudette) to read them their mother Nawal's will (Lubna Azabal), the twins are stunned to receive a pair of envelopes one for the father they thought was dead and another for a brother they didn't know existed.
In this enigmatic inheritance, Jeanne sees the key to Nawal's retreat into unexplained silence during the final weeks of her life. She immediately decides to go to the Middle East to dig into a family history of which she knows next to nothing.
Simon is unmoved by their mother's posthumous mind games. However, the love he has for his sister is strong, and he soon joins her in combing their ancestral homeland in search of a Nawal who is very different from the mother they knew.
With Lebel's help, the twins piece together the story of the woman who brought them into the world, discovering a tragic fate as well as the courage of an exceptional woman.
