Almost Heaven (2017) film screening
Medical Anthropology Film and Discussion Group
Tuesday 9 March 2021 15:30 to 17:00Location: |
Virtual Event |
The GTC Medical Anthropology Film and Discussion Group explores the extent to which film can complement, enrich and further the study of medical anthropology themes, topics and methods. After watching selected clips, we discuss a film’s content and approach, and interrogate its capacity to support the analysis of issues relating to illness, crisis, health and wellbeing.
This term’s focus is the theme of ‘death and dying’.
In this meeting, the group will discuss Carol Salter’s 2017 film. Seventeen-year-old Ying Lang is away from home and training to become a mortician at one of China’s largest funeral homes. Despite her fear of ghosts and dead bodies, she learns the rituals of cleaning and massaging the corpses as the grieving families look on. The everyday routine serves up both humorous and life affirimg moments.
The screening will last 40 minutes followed by discussion. This film can be viewed online by participants up to one day after the event.

Something remarkable is happening at the Radcliffe Observatory.
Our new film takes you behind the scenes to discover the extraordinary expertise, dedication and craftsmanship involved in conserving one of Oxford`s most significant buildings. With works progressing at pace, the Observatory is entering an exciting new chapter.
The Radcliffe Observatory was created through the generosity of one generation. Its survival depends on the stewardship of another. Its legacy will be inherited by generations yet to come.
Thanks to existing supporters, important progress is already being made. But there is still much to do.
Now, we have an opportunity to play our part in securing the Observatory`s future.
Be part of what comes next.
