What happens to your relationship when you move to Germany for your career? Should you convince your partner to join you? How can you manage bicultural love across borders?

In this episode of the TIFF 2024 season, Alex discusses three films about bicultural daughters and their absent fathers. Fittingly, the films are about identity, the role of the father-daughter relationship, and what it may mean for both father and daughter for that relationship to be severed.  To discuss the films' differing cultural contexts, I quote from interviews with the filmmakers, who share many similar insights despite their disparate backgrounds. All three films are world premieres at TIFF and are still seeking North American/UK distributors. The films are: Egil Pederson's My Father's Daughter (Sápmi) - first feature Koya Kamura's Winter in Sokcho (France) - first feature Guillaume Senez's A Missing Part  (Belgium/France) About the TIFF 2024 season: In the TIFF 2024 season, Editor-in-Chief Alex Heeney will discuss some of the best under-the-radar gems at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival through themed episodes.

Finding meaning and purpose is an integral part of the human experience, which is why, in psychotherapy, in religion, and in many other areas of our lives, we look for guidance. This universal need for contemplation can be thought of as spirituality. Yet, in the field of psychoanalysis, spiritual thinking is often overlooked, as it departs from traditional psychoanalytic theories. Today's guest argues otherwise.Amelio D'Onofrio has over 35 years of clinical psychoanalytic experience and his professional journey was shaped by faith and a desire for deeper understanding. From his immigration to the United States to pursuing his studies in Psychology, he discovered that a spiritual perspective could answer his more reflective questions about the self.On this episode of The Art of Listening, Amelio delves into the integral connection between spirituality and psychoanalysis. He reflects on his own experiences with pain and suffering and describes how faith set the groundwork that allowed him to ‘emerge from the darkness'. Amelio also shares his new practices and means of spiritual discovery, by introducing his Gubbio Seminars. As the host of this retreat in Gubbio, Italy, Amelio provides psychotherapists and analysts with the opportunity to discuss pressing topics in the field. Drawing on the theme of this year's seminar, he highlights the epic story of Dante's Divine Comedy, guiding us through the poem and its connection to the self-analytic spiritual process of trauma, grief, and forgiveness.Join us as we learn from Amelio how spirituality can enhance our understanding of the human experience, offering tools for personal growth, healing, and self-discovery.Chapters1 - Amelio's cultural upbringing and his first encounters with suffering (7:50)2 - Growing up with religion and Amelio's relationship with faith (13:32)3 - Psychoanalysis's relationship with spirituality (16:01)4 - Ego-rational listening and generative listening (20:12)5 - Amelio's seminars and this year's theme: Dante's Divine Comedy (22:52)6 - The spiritual cycle of trauma, guilt, and forgiveness (28:15)LinksAmelio D'OnofrioGubbio SeminarsEileen DunnMore from ‘The Art of Listening'

Nafisa Moallim, a therapist and Registered Social Worker with a Clinical Master of Social Work, joins us to talk about immigration and bicultural identity. As a Somali-Canadian refugee, Nafisa has extensive lived experiences navigating two identities and learning the language of trauma. Her biggest passion is for advocating for how to discuss mental health in immigrant and refugee populations. We dig deep into the series Virgins on CBC Gem in Canada. Set in Toronto, virgins! is a dramatic comedy created by Aden Abebe that follows the lives of four 20-something-year-old women who are too modest for the big city and too provocative for the East African homes they come from. We also discuss the impact immigration can have on someone's mental health, what it's like to be part of the 1.5 generation, and the effects of post-migration trauma.

Cesar  is a social sector professional and adventurer at heart.  has amassed nearly two decades of entrepreneurial, startup, and non-profit experience to complement his undergraduate degree in Statistics from U.C. Berkeley and his M.B.A. in social entrepreneurship from ESADE Business School in Spain. Having lived in 6 countries throughout his life Cesar considers himself a global citizen of the world and loves meeting new people and exploring new cultures. The word  I would use to describe this conversation is expansive.
