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 filmβs 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.
The Place Between Was and Will Be (2022)
After his grandfather is diagnosed with dementia, the filmmaker conducts a ritual of anticipatory grief in his grandparents’ abandoned summer house. By using the concept of liminality to explore the house’s past, present and uncertain future, he aims to slow down the moment of a big change and open a discourse his family avoids.
