He was genuinely moved by the story’s simplicity\, and the way it was told. It was “my experience watching\, my encounter with the film itself that had the most profound and lasting impact. It was meditative cinema\, the vase in the film’s final movement.”\nAs a Study Group\, we will consider Drazan’s questions:  What makes this style of film\, the time-image\, transcendental\, spiritual\, slow cinema so compelling?  What is the nature of its alchemy\, how does it manifest in psychoanalytic work\, why are we so moved?\n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nTony Drazan received his MFA in Filmmaking from NYU in 1986.  He has worked for over 35 years writing\, directing\, and producing movies\, tv\, and original content. His many credits include award-winning movies Zebrahead and Hurlyburly.  He is a second year candidate in the Licensure Qualifying Program in Psychoanalysis at the William Alanson White Institute.\n  \nJoin us for this informal\, moving and reflective conversation!\n  \nFrances V. Dillon\, MSW and Eric Dammann\, Ph.D Co Directors\, Artist Study Group
