About

The GTC Medical Anthropology Film & 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 we focus on the theme of Dementia.

Die Guten Jahre – The Good Years (2024)

After his mother is diagnosed with the onset of dementia, photographer Michael Appelt, who has been successful for many years, moves back into his old childhood home in his early fifties. Traumatised by a long stay in hospital, he tries to find his way in this new situation as a carer.
