AIP Online Public Lecture by Kannan Navaratnem


Infant Life & Infant Death

Two short films are presented and discussed from the filmmaker’s and a psychoanalyst’s perspectives.

‘Laid Down’ (10 mins) about the turbulent relationship between the baby’s parents from the  perspective of the new-born infant.

‘Flown’ (15 mins) attempts to unearth the unconscious feelings of parents, whose relationship fails following the death of their infant.

The participants will be offered an emotionally charged and engaging journey as seen through the eyes of both the infant and parents
