An international Jungian community film project reflecting our lives in the year ahead and who we are to each other. We will use the lens of our experience of the Ukrainian War, which may reach elsewhere. Everyone is invited to participate. All you need is your mobile phone or a camera!
How will the Film Project work?
Frames: the film frame as border, framing ourselves and our lives, framing our understanding, framing our identity, framing realities.
Borders: between countries, between people, between conscious and unconscious, between psyche and matter, between thought and feeling
There are two ways to participate:
1. Submit a short film clip from your phone or a camera. If you can work out how to do so, please select 1080 resolution (full HD, 1920 x 1080 pixels). This one is a common screen resolution for smart phones. A minimum of 720 resolution (HD, 1280 x 720 pixels) is acceptable (but not preferred). No more than 90 seconds long. (Other clips, such as a short interview, may be submitted by arrangement with the production team.)
2. Join the production team led by Chris Hauke.
What is the production team?
The production team is a group of people (around a maximum of six with at least two from Ukraine) with some familiarity of handling
video files (MP4 usually); being able to store and catalogue these; ability to upload and download them using a suitable platform such as
Dropbox. (If you are reasonably confident on your computer handling video files is easy to learn, so if you would like to be involved please do contact us.)
The group would also act as a production team viewing all the submissions and deciding on the story or stories we want to make from them that would be the finished documentary (or shorter documentaries). We will also be looking for people to conduct short interviews of members of the Jungian community. Chris has the facilities to edit the film using Adobe Premiere Pro, but people with the ability to sub-edit sections and supply them in a convenient format would be helpful. Translating and sub-titling will need to be coordinated across all clips and the final edit. No previous experience required – just enthusiasm for the project! There will be roles for everyone.
The monthly gathering at the #WUJ Webinars
This project forms part of the #WithUkrainianJungians (#WUJ) webinar project which invites the international Jungian community to gather once a month as a community for 16 months in solidarity with our Ukrainian colleagues and any other colleagues whose people are facing erasure. The webinars will be led by eminent Jungians in collaboration with some of our Ukrainian colleagues. The purpose is to build a strong container to hold our Ukrainian colleagues – and any other colleagues whose community is facing erasure – during a time of immense trauma. The information on the webinars has been translated into several languages. We look forward to seeing you there!
