Simona Kossak: How to Escape Into Nature and Find Awe?
Debate after the screening of SIMONA, dir. Natalia Koryncka-Gruz
What does nature give us? How can we embrace it and benefit from it wisely? What can we learn from Simona Kossak herself? At the Film Therapy meeting, we will talk about the relationship the prominent biologist had with her mother and discuss the ways of overcoming intergenerational trauma. Film Therapy uses the film as a tool for therapy and personal development, allowing us to learn more about ourselves through the experiences of film protagonists.
