LACAN AT LEUVEN: FILM SCREENING & DISCUSSION
Please join us this Wednesday February 17 at 8 pm for the screening of the documentary JACQUES LACAN SPEAKS (1982) by F. Wolff.
“For the first and only time, Jacques Lacan consented to be interviewed by a young journalist from the Belgian public broadcasting network RTBF, because it was a program for the general public. Moreover, uncharacteristically, he gave her permission to film his lecture at the prestigious Catholic University of Leuven. This two-part film is a fascinating and spectacular demonstration of the way Lacan deploys his discourse. He is charming and provocative in front of a large audience, and the next day, during the interview with Françoise Wolff, he reaveals another of his innumerable faces.”
This rare film offers the unique opportunity to watch Lacan harassed by a Belgian Situationist. See what it takes to become “an intellectual hero.”
