Film and psychoanalysis were born almost simultaneously in the last decade of the nineteenth century. However, the first significant entrance of psychoanalysis into the cinema took place in the Weimar Republic. The climax of this German cinema’s interest in psychoanalysis was the Ufa project to make Kulturfilm (i.e. — an educational film) Geheimnisse einer Seele (1926). Its task — fulfilled in an artistically excellent way — was to popularize to the mass audience the basic principles of psychoanalysis and methods of its therapy. Despite Freud’s refusal to participate in the project, two of his very close disciples, Karl Abraham and Hanns Sachs, were scientific consultants of filmmakers throughout the making of the film.
