This paper uses the film “The Story of the Weeping Camel” to explore Donald Meltzer’s thinking about the links between analytic listening and musical listening. The paper uses detail in the film to bring to imaginative life Meltzer’s ideas about the relation between phantasies about the parental intercourse and phantasies about the mother/baby couple. Participants will view the film “The Story of the Weeping Camel” together.
