Which none of us would see alone
hungarian documentary, 105', 2026 - DISTRIBUTOR VERSION
András Feldmár has been on the field for 54 years as a psychotherapist and 54 years in therapy as a patient.
“All psychotherapists are patients, but not all patients are psychotherapists I've been a psychotherapist for 54 years because I'm the craziest. I need human company and I don't know anything else. I am the patient. I am the superpatient. Only a madman would spend his whole day listening to other people.”
According to him, the difference between a therapist and a patient is that the therapist spends more time in therapy than his patients. There is nothing else.
“There are no them, there are no us - we all need mercy, not a cure. Anyone who doesn't understand this is likely to cause harm.”
The viewer can gain an insight into certain stages of Feldmár's remarkable career, for example, how he was shaped by, among others, RD. His relationship with Laing and how he became an inspiring, radical psychotherapist.

Bem Cinema
In January 2016, the 108-year-old Bem Cinema will reopen its doors to the public, in a new way never seen before in Hungary: as a cinema of cult and classic films (no harm!), or as the educated French say (if you know your English): as a "repertory cinema".
