The first year of Psike Istanbul Cinema Evenings focused on films that are considered modern mythic phenomena, and sought to trace the unconscious in the fantasies of the director, the depths of the characters and in each individual “encounter between the subjectivities of the film and the spectator.” In the diverse program, which consisted of 21 films, internationally renowned directors of North American, European, North African and Asian cinema were studied through their classical or contemporary psychoanalytic interpretations, meanings and associations.
