Freud vs. Jung: A Dangerous Method film screening

In collaboration with the C.G. Jung Society of New Orleans

Freud vs. Jung: A Dangerous Method & a Historic Dialogue

Screening begins at 7pm Central Time at Studio 633  (633 Carondelet Street, New Orleans, Louisiana 70130).

Participation is open to all.

Psychoanalysis and Cinema: Who was the better analyst—Sigmund Freud or Carl Jung? Which father of psychoanalysis speaks more to our times in 2025? And why did these once-close allies stop speaking altogether?

Join us for a powerful night of cinema and conversation as the New Orleans Birmingham-Psychoanalytic Center and the C.G. Jung Society of New Orleans come together for the first-ever collaborative event between the Freudian and Jungian communities in our city. We’ll screen David Cronenberg’s A Dangerous Method (2011), which dramatizes the intense and ultimately fractured friendship between Freud and Jung—and the influence of Sabina Spielrein, one of the first female psychoanalysts. Their entangled story raises timely questions: What caused the split between these two towering minds? And why are their followers still divided today?

Following the film, join us for a live dialogue exploring the diverging theories of the unconscious—Freud’s Oedipal insights, Jung’s collective unconscious, and the very different paths their legacies took. Let’s open the conversation that Freud and Jung never finished, and bring our communities together at last.

Let’s talk—because the founders of the talking cure aren’t.
