SUMMARY:Frankel Center Event - Secrets Film Series
DESCRIPTION:Join the Jean and Samuel Frankel Center for Judaic Studies for a hybrid film series on the topic of “Secrets.” \nDocumenting Secret Origins\nDr. Deborah Porter\, University of Washington\, Seattle\nMarch 10\, 4pm\nHybrid\nZoom Registration: https://myumi.ch/G11Qg\nNorth Quad Room 2435 \nDrawing from my research on the impact of family secrets on psychological functioning and organization\, Dr. Porter approaches Michal Weits’ Blue Box and Shir Newman’s How to Say Silence as cultural objects that have much to offer researchers interested in human behavior and motivation. She calls attention to the films’ tacit illumination of a cultural psychology that lies at the foundation of Israelite self-construal and expression. Situating these remarkable films within a broader context of transgenerationally transmitted trauma and a psychology of secrets enhances and deepens our appreciation of the films’ palliative effect. \nMarch 17\, 4pm\nScreening of “Blue Box” by Michal Weits\nChemistry Building Room 1800\nVirtual stream registration: https://forms.gle/UMbR5kqQyYEvz5ay9\nThe link will be available to stream March 17-20 \nMarch 24\, 4pm\nScreening of “How to Say Silence” by Shir Newman\nChemistry Building Room 1800\nVirtual stream registration: https://forms.gle/qPARJYoLajxT7jpL7\nThe link will be available to stream March 24-27 \nMarch 25\, 12pm\nVirtual Panel\nZoom Registration: https://myumi.ch/RWWR8\nThe film screenings will be followed by a virtual panel with Deborah Porter and both of the films’ directors\, Michal Weitz and Shir Newman. \nTrained as a Sinologist\, Deborah Porter’s interdisciplinary research on the impact of shameful family secrets on cultural production spans a wide swath of time and geography\, including Early China\, and fifteenth-and sixteenth-century Western Europe\, Russia and Korea. She has authored From Deluge to Discourse: Myth\, History and the Generation of Chinese Fiction (SUNY 1996); Collective Trauma and the Psychology of Secrets in Transnational Film (Routledge 2018); and most recently The Evolution of Chinese Filiality: Insights from the Neurosciences (Routledge 2022). \nMichal Weits is an Israeli documentary director and producer\, studied at the Sam Spiegel Film & Television School.
