Film »Outsider. Freud«
followed by a discussion with director Yair Qedar
On Tuesday, 20 January 2026, at 5 p.m., the latest film by Israeli director Yair Qedar, »Outsider. Freud« will be shown at the »Prager Frühling« cinema. Afterwards, there will be a Q&A session where you can ask the director questions about the film and his work on it.
A glimpse of the film:
A journey into the life and work of Sigmund Freud in four acts, combining animation, dreams, and insights from leading psychoanalysts. It explores Freud’s experiences of marginalization as a Jew in Vienna during Hitler’s rise and how these shaped his theories and personal life. Through an intimate lens, the film reveals new dimensions of Freud’s legacy, focusing on his impact on psychoanalysis, Judaism, and the power dynamics of being an outsider.
The film is part of the award-winning film series »Ha’Ivrim – The Hebrews,« which creatively presents the lives of important Jewish personalities and has been shown repeatedly on Israeli television.
The admission to the film is free.
