ABOUT THE FILMS: DE HUMANI CORPORIS FABRICA, 2022, Dir. Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor, 118 Min, Grasshopper Film and Gratitude Films, France In French with English subtitles. Five centuries ago, anatomist Andreas Vesalius opened up the human body to science for the first time in history. Today, DE HUMANI CORPORIS FABRICA opens the human body to the cinema. It reveals that human flesh is an extraordinary landscape that exists only through the gaze and attention of others. As places of care, suffering and hope, hospitals are laboratories that connect every body in the world. FORMAT: DCP SOMNILOQUIES, 2017, Dir.
