We’re excited to invite Counselling and Psychotherapy students to Ikon’s Trimester 3 Movie Night, featuring Sound of Metal (2019).
This acclaimed drama follows a musician whose world changes when he suddenly loses his hearing. Through a powerful portrayal of change, identity and the human experience, the film offers an opportunity to reflect on the human condition and explore different perspectives on illness and lived experience.
Following the screening, stay for a relaxed post-film Q&A and discussion.

To support engagement in the post-film discussion, students are encouraged to read the Introduction of Illness: The Cry of the Flesh by Havi Carel (2018), available through the Ikon library via ProQuest.
