film series: engaging race, difference, and otherness through film & dialogue
The ICP Task Force against Racism and Homophobia invites you to our Zoom Film Series: engaging race, difference, and otherness through film and dialogue.
Taking an in-depth look at race, difference, and otherness as well as our own practice of othering presents a challenge for contemporary psychoanalysis. These five films confront us with a view of the lives outside of white, heteronormative perspectives to offer us a focused discussion about what these films capture in us. We’ll watch all five films over Zoom, allowing us to come together and share our thoughts and reactions during the film. The moderated discussion that follows will focus our attention on specific themes from each film, creating space to share our individual experiences with each other.
Film 1: Racially Charged (America’s Misdemeanor Problem)
Sunday, November 20, 2022, 6-9:30pm PST
Misdemeanors play a major role in the perpetuation of racial and economic injustice, and yet most of us are unaware of the history, scale, and impact of being charged with these ‘minor’ offenses. This powerful documentary unpacks the issues clearly and emphatically – with shocking data brought to life with personal stories.
