The film 'Nuremberg' focuses on the trials of Nazi leaders and features a pre-screening event at the Museum of Image and Sound (MIS) in São Paulo, Brazil.
On Tuesday, March 17, 2024, at 19h, the Museum of Image and Sound (MIS) in São Paulo will host a pre-screening of the film 'Nuremberg', directed by James Vanderbilt. The film explores the background of the trials of Nazi leaders following World War II and is a part of the Cinema and Psychoanalysis Cycle, a collaborative effort between the São Paulo Society of Psychoanalysis (SBPSP) and the MIS, supported by Folha. Following the free screening, a debate will take place featuring experts in philosophy and psychoanalysis.
The post-screening discussion will include researcher Adriana Novaes, who holds a doctorate in philosophy from the University of São Paulo (USP) and is the author of 'Hannah Arendt in the 21st Century: The Relevance of an Independent Thinker'. Also participating is psychoanalyst and psychiatrist Ricardo Biz, with the debate moderated by psychoanalyst Luciana Saddi. The film is set to be released in Brazilian cinemas on March 26, and stars Rami Malek as American Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley, who assesses the sanity of captured Nazi leaders like Hermann Göring, portrayed by Russell Crowe.
This event highlights the continuing relevance of the Nuremberg Trials in contemporary discussions surrounding justice, responsibility, and the psychological evaluation of war criminals. With its blend of historical significance and modern psychoanalytic inquiry, the event at MIS will encourage critical dialogue among attendees about the implications of the trials and the nature of evil as examined through the lens of both film and psychoanalysis.
