news Library Receives Gift of Films from Kazakhstan The Library of Congress recently received a boxed set of eight films produced by Aldongar Productions/ Kazakhstan, 40 Kazakh films by various filmmakers and production companies, one season’s episodes of a popular TV series, a collection of movie posters, and a traditional Kazakh ceremonial costume in royal blue with gold embroidery and edging. The films will become the core of a collection of Kazakh films at the Library. The donation included the 35mm print of the movie “The Gift To Stalin,” directed by Rustem Abdrashov and copro- duced by Boris Cherdabayev and Aliya Uvalzahnova, co-founders of Aldongar

Productions. The film, set in 1949, is a Barry Wheeler story of tolerance, love and finding safe Librarian of Congress James H.

which he called “a fascinating chapter in the study of the human mind.” According to Falzeder, the differences between the two men that led to their eventual break were clear from the beginning but they tolerated the issues for a while. Eventually, Jung charged Freud with being dogmatic, reducing all mental problems to sexual issues. Freud accused Jung of succumb- ing to the occult. “Freud took more from Jung’s ideas than vice-versa,” said Falzeder, maintain- ing that their influence is more apparent in popular culture, literature and religion than science. “People use the terms they developed, and the analyst’s couch has become a familiar cartoon image.” Makari postulated that the split between Jung and Freud was a clash over the meaning of modernity and enlight- Abby Brack enment, or the concept of humans as In his book, Jung enters “fearsome territory” according to one symposium participant. machines rather than spiritual beings.

news man who offers guidance; a serpent and the Devil. “It would make a good screenplay,” Beebe remarked. “It’s entertaining with good lines and funny dialogue.” Like Hillman, Kirsch, in his talk “Jung’s Encounter with the Unconscious,” shared personal reminiscences of Jung. Kirsch’s parents studied with Jung in Zurich, and his father was one of Jung’s few associates who had the opportunity to see “The Red Book.” At the age of 19, Kirsch attended Jung’s 80th birthday party, having been sneaked in by his mother, and still remem- bers Jung’s “warm handshake” and his approval of the young man’s presence. On another occasion, when Kirsch arrived for an appointment with him, Jung greeted Kirsch by saying, “So, you want to see the old man before he dies.” Other than replying “yes,” Kirsch remembers nothing about the meeting. Like others in the Jungian community, Kirsch sees “The Red Book” as Jung’s self- analysis, saying, “In it, Jung rediscovers his soul.” Kirsch finds the work so highly personal that he “feels like an intruder” while reading it. “[The Red Book] is Jung’s path; every- one’s does not have to be the same.” The symposium was sponsored by the Library with support from the James Madi- son Council of the Library of Congress, the Oswald Family Foundation, the Hon. J. Richard Fredericks, the Embassy of Swit- zerland, the Jung Society of Washington, the Philemon Foundation, the Archives for Research in Archetypal Symbolism, the International Association for Analyti- cal Psychology, the C.G.
