The Three Faces of Eve (1957)

Come along to a free screening and discussion of The Three Faces of Eve (1957) at Cinema City during Mental Health Awareness Week. The film screening is being delivered as part of a trailblazing UEA-led research project Demons of the Mind exploring the interactions between cinema and the psy sciences – psychiatry, psychology and psychoanalysis – during the late 1950s to mid-1970s.

The Hollywood melodrama The Three Faces of Eve was based on a best-selling book by two American psychiatrists who worked with a client they diagnosed with ‘multiple personality disorder’ (now dissociative identity disorder) in the 1950s.

Following the screening there will be a short panel discussion between the Demons of the Mind project team and mental health professionals from The Pottergate Centre for Dissociation and Trauma and First Person Plural.

Audience members can also join the conversation regarding cinema’s depiction, role and influence on mental health issues.
