A Talk with the Filmmaker

V13 from Vienne 1913:
Reflections on Working with Alain Didier-Weill

Richard C. Ledes, director and screenwriter

Friday, September 26, 2025 • 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM 

Alain Didier-Weill’s stage depiction of the crucial debates taking place in Vienna in 1913 addresses the relevance of the racism of the time as well as the controversy between Freud and Jung on basic concepts that involve both psychoanalysis and politics. These tensions, as well as transposing them into a contemporary setting, in the film V13, will be addressed.

Location: In-person in NYC.

Fee: $15. Registration details to follow.
