An Ecology of Mind is a film portrait of Gregory Bateson, celebrated
anthropologist, philosopher, author, naturalist, systems theorist, and
filmmaker, produced and directed by his daughter, Nora Bateson.

The discussion at the
Glasgow screening covered a wide range of topics including the
possibility of interdisciplinarity in higher education at the moment,
systems theory and its history in the military industrial complex, as well as spirituality and love.
The film includes footage from Bateson’s own films shot in the 1930s in Bali (with Margaret Mead) and New Guinea, along with photographs, filmed lectures, and interviews. His youngest child, Nora, depicts him as a man who studied the interrelationships of the complex systems in which we live with a depth motivated by scientific rigor and caring integrity.
