“We are witnessing the most important technocultural medical revolution of the past century.”–The first generation of e-patients, Tom Ferguson and Gilles Frydman, BMJ 2004

Healthcare has been defined by the physicians and institutions with near complete disregard for the patient, the most important person in the healthcare web.  This dynamic is changing. Patients are taking health into their own hands by building communities, even developing their own treatments. With these radical developments it is inevitable that there are unforeseen problems.

Join us for celebrating the start of this project. We will be sharing drinks, stories and some original videos.

theme: hybrid music video/documentaries

Director Tatia Pilieva’s 2017 video for “You’re The Best Thing About Me” by U2 is a hybrid music video/documentary about love and separation. The film profiles a newlywed military couple, high school sweethearts, a Syrian refugee family in Greece, and a young couple from Mexico City – all in the final 24 hours before one partner in each couple has to leave. The unbelievable access Tatia and her team were able to gain for this film, and the feat of organization it must have taken in order to pull it all off, deserves to be celebrated. But what really makes this film special is Tatia’s ability to tell rich and authentic stories, while keeping them grounded, despite using them in a music video for one of the biggest bands of all time. She creates something that feels both global and intimate, a spirit can be found it a lot of U2’s music. Tatia effectively taps into the feeling of love and loss that all of these people are feeling, and is able to connect them all together through their parallel experiences. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x7Kd9_CGn8&feature=emb_logo
