Medicine on Screen: Films and Essays from NLM

excerpts from 
https://circulatingnow.nlm.nih.gov/2019/02/21/medicine-on-screen-films-and-essays-from-the-national-library-of-medicine/

"The world of medical filmmaking is a complex and fascinating one. Medical films of the past are not just a window into health and disease. They also illuminate society and culture; politics, race, and class; and fear and hope."

"This week, the National Library of Medicine introduces Medicine on Screen: Films and Essays from NLM, a curated, freely-accessible portal presenting digitized historical titles from the Library’s world-renowned audiovisuals collection. An original essay accompanies each film, exploring the social, cultural, and medical milieu of the work, as well as cinematic techniques, the agendas of directors or producers, and other contextual details."

"NLM holds one of the world’s largest collections of medical films and videos, spanning more than a century and numbering nearly 40,000 titles. Among these are an estimated 8,000 cataloged titles deemed historically significant. Many are rare; in some cases, NLM holds the only surviving copy."
