Mammoth (2018) film screening
Medical Anthropology Film and Discussion Group
Tuesday 23 February 2021 15:30 to 17:00The 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 Ariel Heller’s 2018 film Mammoth, a winner at the 44th Annual Student Academy Awards. Caught between his own grief and sense of family duty, Paul drives his care-free terminally ill brother Elliot on a farewell tour to Mammoth, California, where Elliot plans to end his life under the Death with Dignity Act.
The screening will last 20 minutes followed by a Q&A with the director and lead actor.

As conservation work continues on the Radcliffe Observatory, we were delighted to climb to the very top of the impressive scaffold and enjoy a unique perspective on this iconic landmark.
Along the way, we uncovered some fascinating details—and a few cheeky surprises—carved into parts of the stonework. ✨
These hidden marks offer a glimpse into the stories, craftsmanship, and personalities that have become part of the building’s rich history. Stay tuned as we continue to share more behind-the-scenes moments from this remarkable conservation project.
