The MedFilm platform offers a database of hundreds of health and medical films with accompanying analyses. Exploring the worldwide history of health, it operates as a nonprofit, academic, interdisciplinary, and international research/teaching project.
MedFilm provides analysis of the following films from the National Library of Medicine’s historical audiovisual collections. Some of these films are also highlighted here in Medicine on Screen.
Created in the form of an adapted MediaWiki, the MedFilm database has been developed in collaboration with the Direction du Numérique at the University of Strasbourg.
