🎬 Psychoanalytic Film Night: Limbo 🎬

We hope everyone has had a lovely new year so far! We’d like to invite you to an event hosted by our friends at Highlands Psychoanalytic Collective and Eden Court Theatre and Cinema: a screening of Limbo (2020), a Scottish comedy/drama directed by Ben Sharrock, followed by a panel discussion, a thoughtful space to consider the themes of home, community, adolescence and culture – and whatever comes to mind from watching the film.

The film considers the stories of 4 asylum seekers, on a remote island in Scotland. The island, and the fate of the asylum seekers, take us within a liminal state, between past and present, refuge and confinement. Our protagonist, Omar, a Syrian musician, carries his oud, a Middle Eastern string instrument with him – holding the tensions around leaving home alongside his Syrian culture and family. The film was widely praised as a ‘wry and tender comedy’.

This film has particular resonance in our community; from our collective history of the Clearances and relationship to the land; to supporting and welcoming refugees from Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine in the Highlands in recent years, and the anxieties about the use of Cameron Barracks. We hope the film will open a space to think and find meaning. Our panel for discussion are Sam Thomas, Tim Moss, Dr Jade Weston, Huda Donald, and Sarah Fielding.

HPC is a charity and all funds raised from this event will go directly to delivering community psychotherapy services for young people in the Highlands.

Their last psychoanalytic film night event sold out, and people were queuing on the day to get tickets, so if you’d like to come, better to act sooner than later! You can get tickets below via Eden Court’s website:

Last Saturday, we supported our sister charity, Highlands Psychoanalytic Collective, who held their first event, Healing Words: Poetry, Therapy, and the Unconscious.

We’d like to thank our three poets who could make it, Cáit O’Neill McCullogh, Jen Dunn and Jon Miller for their generosity and words, our open mic stars (many of whom shared a piece publicly for the first time!), and our warm and friendly audience - the Bike Shed was packed!

We are so grateful to everyone who came, donated, and shared that there was a collective feeling that we had all been at the start of something good.

Special thanks to Janet at the Bike Shed for making us feel so welcome, and for keeping the tea and coffee flowing, and to Pippa Hembry and Ann McPaul for their organisation and support in helping the whole evening run so smoothly.

We sincerely hope that you will join us for future events. We couldn’t do it without your support. 💚
