Exploring Jungian Psychology Through Short Films. (Formally Lauralewisbarrfilms.com) LAUGH!
Join us to explore psychology, spirituality, and innerwork — through fairytales, mythology, storytelling and homemade stop motion films!
We love the work of Carl Jung, Joseph Campbell, Michael Meade, Marie Louise Von Franz, Edward Edinger, Helen Luke….
Thoughtful films, made with love.
I’m Laura Lewis-Barr, an award-winning stop-motion filmmaker and educator.
My focus is on animating fairy tales and mythic stories for personal and collective transformation.
I make my micro budget films in my basement in Chicago.
Fairy tales are the simplest and purest expressions of the collective unconscious and thus offer the clearest understanding of the basic patterns of the human psyche. -Marie Louise Von Franz
Practicing symbolic thinking is often (in Edward Edinger’s words) a “defeat for the ego.” Continuing to practice is important, as well as being willing to “not know or understand.” Our films are one way that we practice learning the language of the unconscious. This is the language of dreams, myths, fairy tales, art, scripture, and synchronicities.
