Helen Rollins is a writer and filmmaker from Northern Ireland, currently based between Belfast and London. She studied modern languages and literature at Cambridge and the ENS de Lyon. She lectures in philosophy, film and psychoanalysis and is the author of the book Psychocinema, which reexamines the connection between psychoanalysis and film. In this episode, we discuss the relationship between psychoanalysis and cinema, how capitalism exploits our desire, the politics of death drive, emancipation and the Luigi Mangione.
