Island (2018) film screening
Medical Anthropology Film and Discussion Group
Tuesday 26 January 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 Steven Eastwood’s 2018 film Island. On the Island of Wight, four individuals experience the end of life. Illness progresses and relationships shift. We witness rarely seen and intensely private 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.
Please contact paola.esposito@anthro.ox.ac.uk and nick.bunnin@chinese.ox.ac.uk for further information or if you require help accessing the event.

Yesterday our alumni celebrated the 2026 Mid-Autumn Festival in Hong Kong alongside @st_annescollege alumni at the two societies’ first co-organised event.
The group gathered at a Michelin-starred restaurant to mark the joyful occasion, make new connections and enjoy exquisite traditional food together.
It is wonderful to see the two college alumni societies bringing the wider Oxford community together for what Nathaniel Chan (MBA, 2016), co-chair of the Green Templeton College Hong Kong Alumni Society, described as ‘a memorable occasion’.
Plans are already taking shape for a hike and karaoke event in November, following an ‘impressive impromptu a cappella performance by one alumnus’ at the lunch.
