Architecture of the Imagination

Thursdays (see dates below), 7 p.m.

Architecture of the Imagination is a five-part film series that treats five elements of constructed space: the door, the staircase, the window, the bridge, and the tower. It explores the imaginative and archetypal dimensions of each element as they appear in film, psychology, religion and dreams. The films will be preceded by a look at how each element figures in the scriptural imagination.

The series was created by award winning filmmaker and artist Mark Kidel and originally aired on the BBC. (Read a review from 1993.) It was most recently featured in the Lunch Matters film series at the Rubin Museum as part of their exhibit and exploration of Carl Jung's Red Book. Permission to use the films in this format has been generously granted by the artist. Facilitated by the Rev. John Merz in the Parish Hall at 7 p.m. All are welcome. Each film runs 35 minutes, with discussion to follow for those interested.
