Description

From visionary documentary filmmakers Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor, director of Harvard's esteemed Sensory Ethnography Lab, behold the human body as you've never seen it before!

 

Five centuries ago, anatomist André Vésale 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.
