Summary

  • Film made and narrated by Sándor Lorand to document the Eleventh Congress of the International Psychoanalytical Association held in Oxford, England, in July, 1929. The film opens with Lorand explaining the significance of the congress and its debate over lay analysis. Lorand then introduces dozens of the psychoanalysts attending the congress, including Max Eitingon, Anna Freud, Karen Horney, A.A. Brill, and others. The attendees are shown gathering in Oxford and on a trip to Salisbury and Stonehenge. Appended to Lorand's film is an earlier film of Freud and members of his family made at Ernst Simmel's Sanatorium Schloss Tegel and Psychoanalytische Klinik in Berlin in 1928. Lorand received the Freud film from his analyst and mentor, Sándor Ferenzi, before he left Oxford. Ferenzi made the gift knowing that Lorand was disappointed over not being able to include Freud in his film of the Congress, which Freud had been too ill to attend.
