Cinema and psychology
السينما وعلم النفس
How can a film help us understand ourselves and others? In a talk titled Understanding and recovery, the psychologist Malak Ben Jaber read the bond between the screen and the mind from the angle of systemic thinking.
She spoke of the safe distance cinema creates, where viewers see their own experience in the lives of other characters and can name what they could not name before.
When we see our story on the screen, we are less alone with it.
