L’Atalante Movie Night

Friday, August 23  |  7-9 PM 

L’Atalante (1934), which often appears in lists of The Ten Best Films of All Time, was written and directed by Jean Vigo, a young French artist, who died of tuberculosis before the final cut of this film was complete. It is the story of a young French woman who married the captain of barge which travels the Seine, her husband, and his tiny crew. Few films have ever so effectively captured the numinous syzygy of anima/animus as does L’Atalante.

Answer to Joe Play Production by Rick Vaughn

The C. G. Jung Society produced its second play, Answer to Joe in March, 2019.  The play is loosely based on Jung’s book Answer to Job, and deals with the same themes—the nature of God, the reality of the divine versus an individual’s image of it, and the psychological implications of an individual’s often unconscious god-image.  Though these are deeply serious topics, the play presented them in modern understandable dress and treated them with considerable humor. Rick Vaughn, author of…
