TU Delft Library Outdoor Cinema showing "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Join the students of the TU Delft for the annual outdoor cinema on the greenroof.

The Library will conclude the study year and SG’s Rooftop Sessions: The Brain programme with a themed film screening of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975), a classic psychological comedy-drama (based on the 1962 book by Ken Kesey) that confronts problems of conformity as well as inadequate and oppressive mental health systems. The film may be retro, but these issues are not dated; public perception of mental health and the individual’s ability to rebel against oppressive social systems are just as crucial as ever.

More about the SG Rooftop Sessions: The Brain. How do we stay healthy, focused, and creative in the age of distraction? Reinvent yourself this spring with neuroscience, art, and philosophy.
