Episode 1: Documentary Filmmaker Alan Zweig

  • Summary

  • Documentary Filmmaker Alan Zweig rose to prominence with his “Mirror Trilogy" of documentaries, Vinyl, I, Curmudgeon, and Lovable. Alan’s first-person, into-the-mirror video diaries place himself and his neuroses at the centre of his films, films that capture what it means to be obsessional, lonely, cynical…human. Later works--A Hard Name, Fifteen Reasons to Live, Hope, Coppers-- explore painful subjects like addiction and PTSD. His current project, Ending it All, (NFB/52 Media Inc.) examines the complexity and mystery of suicide through the lives of the departed and those left behind. In this episode of Conversations in Psychoanalysis Today, Karen and Alan enjoy a conversation about point-of-view filmmaking, the similarities between documentary interviewing and psychoanalytic listening, and the healing power of relationships.
