My guest for this episode is Laura Lewis-Barr. Laura is an award winning film-maker, who specialises in the medium of stop-motion to create short movies inspired by myths, fairy tales and the ideas of people such as Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell. In her films, she uses dolls to portray an eclectic array of characters and does all of the costuming, set design, filming and editing. Her films are part of a larger project called Psyche’s Cinema.

Prior to her film-making, Laura was a graduate student in clinical depth psychology and her interest in Jungian psychology is an important part of her film making projects.

In the interview I stalk by talking with Laura about the origins of the idea for Psyche’s cinema, and what drew her to the medium of stop-motion film-making. We then discuss some of the mythic and psychological themes she has explored in her films, the importance and value of mythic ideas, and how they persist in modern human culture and can help us better understand paranormal phenomena.
